I kind of wish I'd kept a couple of those nurses around from the convention; maybe it wouldn't have taken me so long to fix my leg and take care of that nasty infection.

Anyone know where I can get some vicodin around here?

Madison Square Garden. Then get in line.

[gimpy_addict]

A line?

I'm a cripple; I can't stand in a line.

[cafedeinfierno]

They have benches for us old folks.

[gimpy_addict]

I don't think I'm getting through to you through that ridiculous contraption that seems to be eating your face.

I need vicodin now, or the inevitable horde of people who are going to come to me for doctoring are going to be incredibly disappointed.

I think they have some medicine and supplies at Madison Square Gardens.

Are you hurt badly?

[gimpy_addict]

I guess I'm headed to Madison Square Garden then.

And I don't know if I'm hurt badly, how would you classify chronic pain in my leg that makes it impossible to walk unless I have a cane and vicodin?

[notsogrim]

I would say you are. Do you think you'll be alright?

[gimpy_addict]

Well, it's been this way for 8 years, and I'm not dead or dying yet, so signs would point to yes.

Girls and drugs.

Someone knows how to have a good time.

Well, except for the infection I suppose.

This is House being his normal self.

I'd like to see you walk away from having a piece of metal shoved through your leg, and then pulling it out slowly.

I bet you'd start screaming even after we gave you morphine.

I've been impaled by a stone spike before.

It didn't hurt that much.

You big baby.

Then you must have CIPA.

Rare genetic disorder. Very interesting.

Are you hurt? I can heal you, mister.

[gimpy_addict]

What, with your plastic stethoscope and pretend lab coat?

You can't heal chronic pain, kid. All you can do is take lots and lots of opiates.

Now go play with your toys and leave the doctor alone.

[psirockinn]

B-but I can! I can use PSI Healing and Lifeup!

[gimpy_addict]

Okay, now you just play too many video games.
Which I'm not saying is entirely bad, but. You can't heal people with something out of a video game.

[patchwork_phd]

Ah, what seems to be the problem with your leg, sir?

[gimpy_addict]

Long story. Suffice it to say that half of the muscle tissue is gone, I have had chronic leg pain for the past 8 years, I can't walk without a cane, and no one seems to have any damn vicodin so that I can actually function.

[patchwork_phd]

Oh my. Well, my colleague Diego up there knows the only reliable source of Vicodin in the city -- trust me, I've searched every room of this hospital and it's been cleaned out. Unfortunate, really. If only I had muscle to spare! Well, there's the parasites, but their tissue would hardly be hospitable in a human environment.

[gimpy_addict]

Parasites? You have parasites?

I think you're the one who needs the help.
