Squeak. 000523 ... datura hospitals smell like death and make my lips chapped and my cuticles peel. i know because i've been there. they admitted me in june 1999 because they said they needed to take care of me. i took care of me or i tried; but i didn't know how. every time i smell disinfectant i think of the hospital, and i get chills up and down my spine. 001202 ... unhinged i think the smell in hospitals is what heaven smells like...there are so many souls passing through in hospitals. so much spiritual traffic and pain and life and death. hospitals are such pretty little microcosms. i have every reason to hate them though. 001222 ... twiggie hospitals have never bothered me. i always look at them as this nice, warm, safe kind of place. my dad works at one, always has, and i've always loved going in. when i was 6 years old i was in the lab disecting rats. when i was 9 i was scrubbing into surgery and watching him operate. and only a little older i was helping operate. (don't worry their life was not in the hands of an 11 year old, i just held things and such). while most hate the smell of a hospital, i find it comforting. i've seen all the sick people there, i've had people i love go in and not come out the being they once were. the only time i've been in one for myself is regular doctor's appointments. i'm sure my view would be changed if i ever had to get surgery or if i had to be in there at all for myself. as for nursing homes and going to the dentist, *shudder*. still scare the shite out of me. 001222 ...
