Patient presents with epidermal splitting
Patient was taken to the operating room
and placed in supine position.
The first incision was made with a Bosch jackhammer.
Bleeding vessels were carefully cauterized with little orange cones.

God damn it.
I swear this city is always doing road work.
Maintenance is an ongoing forever-process
Kicking up dust and blocks of asphalt
Inserting rebar into wet concrete

Apartments with bad air conditioning and worse humidity
Mold growing into the damp corners of your chest
Patient whines and asks to be taken care of.
Patient requests to be given more morphine.
Patient request denied.
