Slice of Life in the ATL by Cracker

Amputation is one of the most traumatic experiences for people, especially the cutting of long bones. Multiple amputations performed at different times are almost too much to bear. That girl has a fighting spirit. My heart goes out to her.

I don't trust hospitals and doctors/nurses like I used to.

It's not that I don't trust doctors and nurses its the nosocomial (took me a year to learn how to pronounce it) infections. Those little gazillions of critters that hang out in hospitals. This guy who inspects hospitals once told me they really try hard (most of the time) but infection control is so difficult in those massive structures filled with sick people. ...think of how many people you've ever heard of that went into hospitals for various reasons and then acquired "an infection"... My buddy told me "it was America's dirty little secret". But its a catch 22 cause if you tell the general public too much they won't want to go into hospitals when they need to.
