Back to ER

Update on my friend with the high blood pressure on an endless wait list to see a specialist. He is still waiting and was taken out by ambulance in the middle of the night a week ago. All his stuff was packed and removed by guards. Probably will never see him again. I said a prayer.

Shot Her in the Mouth

I was standing with my cellmate as we were both asking for a job. The officer we would be working for asked our charges. My cellmate said, "murder". The officer laughed and said, "Really, what are you in for?" He replied, "My girlfriend got lippy so I shot her in the mouth." The officer pulled him up on her computer and indeed, he was arrested for murder and convicted of manslaughter.  She didn't hire him.
On our way back home, he confided in me that he found out his girlfriend had AIDS and probably gave it to him since they were having sex and she never disclosed. So during the angry confrontation he pulled out the gun he had brought and indeed shot her in the mouth.
This is the ignorance and fear that surrounds us.
