the emergency room put me on the waiting list again. it's not that i wasn't slowly bleeding out through a gash in my skull (i was), but i didn't have insurance. i watched as entire squad of orderlies swarmed around a child with a skinned knee, debating optimal band-aid placement. when complete, they sent blue albatross a bill for $37,000. i can't compete with that shit. i knew i was beat. i passed out in the childrens' toy area of the waiting room. when i woke up, i was in an alley, and the gash in my head had been sealed with chewing gum. god bless america.
