Well, I was told at 3pm. Friday that they wanted to release me. When the doctor returned she pretty much said "you gotta go-now". Okay, I only live 2 1/2 hours away from this hospital, which they knew from go... Alright, it's just gonna take a while for my ride to get here.
First thing I do is try to bum a smoke from someone, anyone... First dude comes up to me, and he's like "I'm so sorry, wish I had one for you... Give me a few, I'll find a store, what do you smoke?" he walks off and comes back 30mins later with a full pack and a brand new Bic lighter. Oh my God, his name was Jack, and he was my nicotine angel, like for real.
Well, while Jack was gone, I asked another dude if he had a smoke. He literally had half a cigarette and insisted on splitting it with me. I told him to sit down next to me, he was shivering cold, so I gave him a blanket I had. He told me after he smoked the cig and blunt he had, he was going to go blow his brians out. Funny that, hmm, I almost asked if I could tag along, but I asked why he wanted to kill himself.
Apparently, his wife and 3 kids had been killed not too long ago by a drunk driver, who had also been killed by the impact. He showed me pics on his phone of his wife, whom he was married to for 15 years, and his kids. He even showed me pics of their funeral, which was really sad. He said when he'd been locked up, she visited every month, brought the kids, and stayed loyal to him for the years he was behind bars (some kind of tax fraud was what he was locked up for according to him.) While in prison he'd gotten a degree (I forget what he told me on that.) and hadn't been out too long when they were killed.
My heart really went out to this guy. So, while waiting for my ride, I said well, let's go sit inside the lobby since it's cold. After all, I just got released not long ago. Nope, security had a shit fit and chased us out. He said fuck it I'll get seen in the ER so we can stay warm until your mom gets here. Oh no, security went on bitching refusing to let him be seen in the ER for 20mins - he finally pulled out his phone can called his dad, who apparently is a big time lawyer. His dad said his name and pretty much said "go ahead and deny my son being seen in the ER, I am going to have a field day with your ass and your employers ass in court."funnily enough, this is a catholic hospital too. Apparently Jesus doesn't want people literally discharged within the hour to be able to stay out of the cold until their ride gets there... Or to let a homeless person to be seen in their publicly funded ER. FINALLY, they let him go in and be seen, after they asked "why didn't you get seen with Her at the same time?" fucktards, I've been here 2 fucking weeks.
He saw a friend of his there who'd been waiting over 2 hours, poor guy had a hell of fever. I had some Tylenol on me and gave him a couple. I figured it might help him, and I can get more, I don't know if this guy has any money or anyway to get more if he needs it... Security comes up to me and flips their shit "you giving pills away?!".. "huh? Dude, I just gave him Tylenol. Shit you literally can buy on every corner store, every rite aid pharmacy without a prescription." so they kick me out, so dude I was with comes with me. We sit on the corner literally huddled together for warmth waiting. Then two security vehicles, one with a dog, comes up to us and says literally" get the fuck up, we don't want scum like you next to our building". This has my new found friend flipping shit telling them to apologize to me or he's gonna "send them home to their families in a box"... I like "calm the fuck down, pick you battles and luckily my ride finally shows up, so we get in and my ride takes him to another hospital where he checks in for Psych so he can at least be warm and have food for a few days to a week.
He told me" give it 30 days and my daddy will give me some money.. I think it was fate I met you, you calm me down like my wife used to, I can hear it in your voice. I wanna make things better for us both. You literally intervened in me killing myself tonight. Just give me a month, and I'll have shit right for us- I don't care if you shoot dope. I know you're in pain. My momma, before she died did the same thing. Me, I just smoke weed, that's it. I've hussle drugs before, but weed is all I partake of. Trust me, I'll make shit better, just keep in contact with me, and come see me if you can. "
Dude is Perto Rican, 46 years old, he was telling me what it was like when he was growing up down there. He came to the the continental united states when he was a teen because his parents split up. He was telling me stories about when he was hussling on the streets, hardships he'd had, being locked up, how he met, and married his wife and all. Guy was a genuinely nice person, a good soul, albeit, he does have a little bit of a screw loose, but I do believe him about his father- he didn't mention anything about that until he made a phone call and had it on speaker phone to pretty much tell off the cops. I do believe his father is the bug time lawyer he says. He'd mentioned cases his father had won, and I looked them up, and yeah, he was right. It'd be kinda odd to just have someone who'd ansse the phone saying "hey, dad, I've got an issue with these security pigs who won't let me be seen at the ER here" and them say their name, and tell them he'd be thrilled to have their ass in a court room, all randomly like that. He said he doesn't have much to do with his father, except when he's been in trouble with the law, but his dad sends him money periodically.
Meh, either way, pretty interesting encounter with a nut who's become my friend. Maybe things do happen for a reason. He's a good guy I believe anyway. We've been calling back and forth from where he's at in the psychward. He's got at least some interesting stories to tell anyway,and it was nice to have someone stand up for me when assholes wanted to assert their assholishness.
Anyone else have nuts attracted to them? Got any good nut encounter stories?
