Bill Cady, The Early Years … by Bill Cady 175 Hospitals didn‟t have air conditioning then, which can be pretty damned bad in a muggy Michigan summer. However, they permitted smoking, right there in my bed, so it seems a decent trade-off. While I could‟ve handled it back then, not being able to smoke, (it might‟ve even been what I needed to quit), all it would do now is send me into fatal state of shock. I‟m too heavily addicted these days, I guess. The fractured bones in my leg weren‟t even set the first two weeks. Since they planned to take it off, why bother? They never did set the ankle. Just left it as was when I came into the ER. Then, after Dr. Pomeroy and I made our deal, things were different. Still, they first had to get rid of the infection before they could do any fixin‟. He was right. Achromycin does make you want to puke. I never did, but I had a lot of times when I really wanted to. However, I was more determined to keep my bent wheel than I was unwilling to offload lunch, so it worked out okay. The staff was something else, in a few different ways. There was an x-ray tech I suspect was also a registered asshole. I‟m quite sure, if I‟d made him show proof, one way or the other, that bastard was a Democrat. I knew how they were supposed to do it whenever my leg had to be raised for any purpose, particularly before the fractures were set. It required two people, always nurses until the day this bastard came into my room. I was in 433, in case you want to check. June fifteenth to July thirtieth, 1965. If they can‟t remember me, ask some of the nurses who were on then. They will. This x-ray asshole said he had to get films on my leg. I explained it required two people. One for my upper leg, one for the lower leg. Each person needed to put one Leviticus, Limited 33-0505963
Bill Cady, The Early Years … by Bill Cady 176 hand under from the outside, and one from the inside. Then they had to lift at the same time and same speed. Otherwise, I faced a personal disaster, and I told him that wasn‟t on my wish list that day. Oh, no. This big prick knew it all. What right, or reason, did I, the stupid ass with the crushed leg, have to tell him what to do? So, all filled with attitude, he put his negative plates on the mattress, then reached for my leg. One hand lower, one hand upper. His hands were about in the middle of each, very nicely placed to do it exactly wrong. When he lifted my leg, a hand beneath each major break, the jagged ends of bones rubbed against each other. The medical term for my condition at that precise moment is “ungodliosis painititis”. Speaking technically, that fucking hurts! I had a partial remedy. I hadn‟t had anyone empty my urinal yet that day. It was almost full. Too full, actually, to be used again until someone emptied it. Therefore, I emptied it. In his face, on his chest, and all over his hair. Not only did I scream every dirty word at him I‟d ever heard, I think I may even have coined a couple new ones. Honest to God, boys and girls, I think that siege of pain was worse than what I felt after coming back to life there at the accident scene. <strong>My</strong> screams brought everyone wearing anything white on the fourth floor into my room. I‟m sure the look on my face testified under oath I wasn‟t lying about a damned thing. I even threatened the idiot, telling him I was gonna kill him. Yeah, right. How, stupid? I couldn‟t even move. Couldn‟t get out of bed if the damned place was on fire. I‟d already done the worst thing I could do to him, and I know he stank to high heaven, „cause I could smell him all the way across the room. The nurses got him out of there right away, perhaps in hopes it might chill out my Leviticus, Limited 33-0505963
