a piercing sensation shot through my nerves causing instantaneous bladder incontinence as his calloused gigantic hands ripped the soiled bandages off my amputated leg the stethoscope hanging loosely from an overfed neck grated against the sore's jagged edges which alongside my agonizing yelps created a discordant rhythm. i yearned for the silken touch of that scented lady on white suddenly his nose wrinkled up, indicating he was either amnesiac or was too dumb to comprehend that his ineptitude was responsible for the festering site. i lamented diabetes' unending infatuation for me which has made me a prisoner to the whims of a grossly incompetent orthopedist who badly needed a lecture on finesse and work ethic
