Scenes from a Hospital

I chose, or rather my kidney stones chose for me, the right morning to go to the ER.  I was stuck in a curtained-off room by myself for a good 5 hours, with no cell service and a telephone that couldn’t connect to outside numbers.  But Sylvia, an eloquent 400-pound bipolar woman being held on involuntary psychiatric hold provided plenty of entertainment.

“I’m so disgusted with this place, I want to shit on the floor.” -S

“My son’s in jail.  He’s an engineer.” -S

“You’re a social worker, stop trying to pretend you’re intelligent.” -S

“I want a trained medical staff, not a football team of dykes.” -S

“I’m sick of all this bullshit so I wrote my own 10-page health care bill.” -S

“My brother’s psychiatrist tried to kill me while I was driving.” -S

“This is Auschwitz.” -S

“This is mad shit, son, mad crazy shit” -The security guard who failed arresting her

“This is like the time James Belushi speed balled.” -S

“Did you sell that little lesbian heroin in the parking this morning so she could come in and try to kill me with it?” -S

“Hey lesbian nurse, are you in love with me?” -S

“So do you just round up these people in the morning, hand them a pair of scrubs, and let them play doctor?” -S

“Its like HBO in here this morning.” -Male nurse

“Where are my designer clothes?” -S
