Night Life In A Hospital Recovery Ward
At night I wake to the sounds of a broken man coughing up his lungs.
Previously, when I was in the stroke ward, seven years ago, ancient victims in their sleep cried and called out for their mothers.
Nurses & aides come and go all night long, people die or stroke out in their sleep, people get up to pee, then fall, and call for pain meds.
This is life without sleep.
All.
Night.
Long.
