Make It a Foursome!
A young Black girl from Boston came into the hospital in hysterics and was
being examined in the Red-Blanket area.
She had followed a man out to this city and then found out he was sleeping with two other women. She had no family herself and had dropped out of high school back East. Her parents did not want her, she said. "Nobody loves me!"
;
Resident and his intern do write-up in hallway outside of Red-Blanket area.
The resident said, "What scoundrels men are!" He tried
to patiently calm her, but a Valium injection did it quicker. Someone on
the sidelines suggested that she simply get into bed with the other women and make it a foursome.
"Make it a foursome." Overdosed.
