If no one else has got me, at least Sarah Kinsley's got me.
Lyrics from the song "Last Time We Never Meet Again" by Sarah Kinsley: "I hope you get Everything you wanted I hope the universe bends down to offer itself to you" Lyrics from the song "Last Time We Never Meet Again" by Sarah Kinsley: "But for myself I hope I hear your name And I feel absolutely nothing Let me be free of you"

Screenshot of diary entry that reads: "Dr. Smith came thru this a.m. I asked him if I "grunted" each time he came thru, where would he move me. He said, 'move you--Why, I'd just give you a dose of Castor Oil every time you complain.'" Screenshot of diary entry that reads: "Dr. Smith came thru this a.m. asked if I was good. I told him I was trying to be. He said, Oh! You couldn't be, and pinched my toe." Screenshot of diary entry that reads: "Friday, June 28, 1929 Feel pretty good. Dr. Smith came thru this a.m. Thumped my tummy & tickled my ribs." Screenshot of diary entry that reads: "Friday, July 19, 1929 Feel pretty good. Dr. Smith came thru this a.m. Have a blister on my left little toe. He said looked like a corn. Dr. Stewart came thru this p.m. My! How he tickled my feet. Miss Godfrey borrowed my flash light for the night."

Last week I transcribed the diary that my great-grandmother kept in 1929 while at a sanatorium for TB (which she'd succumb to 3 years later at age 31). Very insightful and informative, hopefully inspiring for my own writing.
But, uh, wtf Dr. Smith...
Screenshot of diary entry that reads: "Tuesday, May 28, 1929 Feel pretty good. My legs are a bit sore from getting on & off the bed. Dr. Smith came thru this a.m. said he would tie me in bed." Screenshot of diary entry that reads: "Thursday, May 30, 1929 Feel pretty good. Have the cramps a bit. Dr. Smith came thru this a.m. A young fellow was with him, here to qualify as an intern. I told Dr. Smith I didn't want to get Mrs. Wilson's disease. I was afraid of her. He said he would put me in the bed with her." Screenshot of diary entry that reads: "Monday, June 3, 1929 I feel pretty good. Dr. Smith came thru this a.m. Just pinched my "toe." Had a new patient." Screenshot of diary entry that reads: "Dr Smith came thru this a.m., tickled me in the ribs, asked me how I was. I told him I felt like moving. He just nodded his head and didn't say more."
