A guy opposite me had his finger crushed and severed by an electric chain saw
Couldn't put back - too crushed, too messy
The operation was done, the doctor came, said he could leave tomorrow
Blood was coming out from the bandaged wound
A big patch
He got no medicine to kill the pain
he is afraid of injection
Moaning, cursing
Want a game of chess?
He asked this neighbour now playing a gameboy
40 Stiches round his head, leg broken
A male nurse came to wash his wound
I would take the injection
But you'd feel dizzy, can't walk straight
Give me the shot
O fuck your nanny the pain really kills
O f....
His phone rang
It didn't hurt that much when the finger was cut
Now it does
The plank was long and it slipped and jumped
Oh it was nothing just a finger
Nothing much
I can hold a hammer, still can
Can't do much about it
Nobody wants it
The pain is awful now that the anasthetic is gone
They won't give it when you want it
They have this time table to follow
`Leave after supper!
The germs would infect you here
and get your wound washed in a nearby clinic
come back as scheduled.'
The doctor has already given the word
But feeling the razor sharp pain
and the cold and the hot of the fever
He disregarded the word
and stayed on one more night
moaning
¡@
Whole night he didn't sleep
At four he was given a shot
His doctor came at seven
he complained of the pain
and the treatment he should have had
Only to get this retort
'Who is the doctor, you or I?'
¡@
A team of doctors came at eight
to see how he fared
And now the blood had coagulated
And had become one with the bandage
But the chief wanted to see the wound
So the bandage was ripped right off from the stumb
And blood gushed out from the stiches
and spilled a mopful on the floor
And pain raced through his whole body straight to half of his head
And he said
'Didn't treat me like a human
never considered the feeling of a patient
should have soaked it with alcohol
Till it peeled off painlessly
What kind of doctors are they?'
It was the student doctor too ready to please
The chief himself was quite OK
He reminded the team in English
of the consequences and complications that might arise
the precautions to be taken
and the services to be given after his dispatch
¡@
I'd rather go home
At twelve, the doctor signed the papers
At 2
he left.
