Help  

Several days and two sets of ruined sheets later, I called the local doctor.  Unfortunately, he turned out to be one of my Tuesday night drinking buddies.  No matter—I'm sure the quack still knows more about medicine than most of the bums in this town.  So anyway, the consultation with the doctor went something like this:

Me: He's bleeding.
Doctor: Yes, I noticed.
Me: So…?
Doctor: Give up.  He's a goner.
Me: (Dangit.)
