a
friend
of
a
friend
recommended
this
doctor
.
said
he
did
carpal
tunnel
surgeries
right
there
in
his
office.
said
he
was
brilliant
. he'd
fix
him
right
up
.
so
he
booked
an
appointment
.
just
a
few
quick
snips
and
you'll
be
good
as
new
,
the
doctor
said
.
i
do
twenty
of
these
a
day
.
easy
.
he
sat
him
down
in
a
closet
full
of
cardboard
boxes
and
jabbed
him
with
a
needle
to
numb
the
nerve
.
it
hurt
like
hell
.
he
cut
him
open
and
sent
him
on
his
way
.
didn't
stitch
him
up
or
anything
.
he
walked
out
with
blood
spraying
all
over
the
place
.
he
asked
the
receptionist
if
she
could
give
him
something
to
slow
the
crimson current.
if
not
for
himself
,
so
other
patients
wouldn't
slip
and
fall
on
their
way
in
.
she
sighed
and
said
she'd
see
what
she
could
do
.
he
went
home
with
a
glorified
paper
towel
wrapped
around
an
open
wound
.
and
now
that
the
anesthetic
has
worn
off
,
his
hand
is
a
throbbing
ball
of
pain
.
