foreign people who come off of them. Take the Chinese. Some of them are thieves and liars but I know some who are highly cultivated people. Doctor, there are a couple of questions I want to ask you, if you'll be kind enough to listen to what I want to tell you about. You're a medical doctor, aren't you? I thought so, well, Doctor, I had a bad automobile accident in January of this year - ribs fractured, multiple skull fractures - and I wasn't breathing when they brought me to the emergency room of one of the hospitals here in town. The doctor in charge came out and took a look at me and he said to the ambulance driver, "Take him to the morgue" - just like that - "nothing to do for him." The driver didn't want to do that, so he took us to another hospital where they had a team just for accidents. They took me in there and held me up to drain the blood out of my lungs, and I was in that hospital for three months. Got Pneumonia.. Finally they said they couldn't do anything more for me. I could hear them talking - their room was just down the hall from where I was - and saying they didn't know anything more to do for me. And right then Miss Effie said that she'd take care of me. Miss Effie was an old world nurse who'd been there for years and everybody thought a lot of her, and they all called her Miss Effie. Well, Miss Effie asked them to let her take care of me and they said she could do whatever she wanted. So it was Miss Effie who carried me through, and I got over the pneumonia and she helped me to get up and learn to stand and use my legs and arms again. That's the way I finally got well enough to get back to work again. But that right clavicle, where it was broken, never got properly set and I have diplopia when I look to the left. That's why I have the tape on the right rim of my glasses. The diplopia gets on my nerves, but the most? pain
