I had appendicitis for 18 months.

I'm not going to kill that doctor. But he is 45 years older than me and some fresh graves just scream out to be pissed on.

Highfalutin fuck with his own practice and a fireplace in the lobby couldn't diagnose and treat what a chick in her 20s with a nose ring working the night shift at Halifax caught in an hour.

I'm not going to kill that doctor. I ain't gonna go looking for him. If I encounter him again and he isn't cold in his urn, I'm gonna hurt him in a way medical science can't fix.

    One night, I was about 20 years old or so, I woke up in severe abdominal pain. Very nausea, such vomiting. Couldn't stand up right. Go to the hospital, given Maalox. Throw up the Maalox. Given...something else that put me out cold.

    This happened over and over again for a year and a half, once or twice a month. Went to the doctor about it, "there's nothing we can do."

    I go off to university out of state. It happens there. Young night shift doctor has the bright idea to put me in a CT machine while it hurts. Can you say "2 AM appendectomy?" Never had another one of those bouts of pain and puking again.

    I apparently had appendicitis for 18 months.

    And I'm not going to be a very nice person to the doctor that repeatedly didn't do anything about it.
