Hospital | An Illich Epsiode

Just get it out of the way.

Uh, first and foremost, I spent like 24 hours in the emergency room because there weren't enough beds in the hospital.

So I, I got admitted to the hospital or whatever.

Um, but I had to stay down in the emergency room and the, in the triage area cause they didn't have a room, uh, to, to move me up to the proper hospital.

Um, Um, so that was, that was crazy.

That was, um, that sucked for sure.

And they, you know, fucking giving me a bunch of morphine.

So I was all out of it.

Uh, couldn't sleep.

So I was just like laying in the bed, super out of it on morphine, listening to all the sounds.

Uh, I listened to a woman on the other side of my curtain, uh, who I think got beat up by her boyfriend.

She also sounded really intoxicated.

But I listened to her for a couple hours, just kind of going on and on and on.

And then it turns out her boyfriend showed up.

So that was, you know.

Weird, uncomfortable, unhappy.

But also I had nothing else to do but eavesdrop on my neighbors.

And then there were kind of other people all around on the other side of my curtain and their own curtains.

And I don't know, it's like little vignettes into people's lives.

The type of thing, you know, when you go sit in the DMV and you eavesdrop on people or you go to the airport and And you eavesdrop on people.

I and it's not to say I like eavesdropping on people.

But I do like to, I don't know, observe little vignettes.

So when I go out to the bar, which I don't go to the bar.

But, you know, when I'm out and about, if I'm going to a coffee shop, I like to kind of observe people.

If I'm in the library or the bookstore or shopping at the mall or even the grocery store or at the airport, like just I don't know, you always get like little windows into the lives of other people.
