Stumped

[unclegravity]

Today I was walking through the corridor at work and there was a man sitting there without toes--just a bloodied stump wrapped in a clear bandage. Then I went for lunch. No chili for me, thanks.

Apparently it's either bloodied stumps or convicts chained to their beds. At least I knew stump-man wasn't going to get up and chase me. Comforting.

Where the hell do you work!?! (I mean, I know generally, but still...yeesh!)

Heh, I work in the radiology department of UCSD Medical Center. I'm not exactly sure why Stump-man was there, it looked like he had other problems as well. And yeah, apparently the convicts are sent to this particular hospital--they'll be lying on a bed in the hallway and I just kinda put my head down and make a not too obvious arc as far around the bed as I can get.

Stump Man.
