A chapter in the book Random Rhyme and Petty Prose
Medical Week 1
by Bill Schott
I woke from sleeping on my lounge chair and stood. Immediately, my right nostril began leaking blood. This was not a new event, but it had been a long while. This time, however, I couldn't get it to stop.
After six hours, my son took me to the emergency ward. After four hours, I was seen by a doctor. Ten minutes later, the doctor introduced me to the Rhino Rocket. He jammed a six-inch "tampon" up into my sinuses. I should have known when he told me to sit on my hands that pain was coming.
I was given dope and an antibiotic to last for three days.
Today, I will meet with the doctor who will eventually emplace my pacemaker, in the morning, and the Ear, Nose, and Throat doctor, this afternoon, about cauterizing the capillary in my nose.
Tomorrow will be my wife's day in the barrel.
