Very good writing, although I did actually guess the ending somehow. My son's birth was extremely traumatic for myself and far more for my missus, even though it was in one of the most expensive private clinics in the city, and they were asking for a lot more than $50 extra when complications arose. Think more like 30 times that.
Recently I had to look for a friend who was in a bad state. My first visit was Calmette, I fucking hate that place. The emergency unit is absolutely horrific, especially at night. Anyway, he wasn't there. The other hospitals I visited that evening made Calmette look glamorous. Total hell-holes, where you go to die.
I actually want to know what you think!

Romantic Cambodia is dead and gone. It's with McKinley in the grave.
Shit yeah! Whole new thread, which I would not be averse to. Dali could've made some money depicting some of the scenes I have heard about.Lucky Lucan wrote:Very good writing, although I did actually guess the ending somehow.

My take, If a hospital calls itself a hospital, then it does the things a hospital does. Fuck, it's scary as anything when it is all about a loved one or a new life, but, and I don't know why, I have faith. It seems like like a lot of trouble to go through setting up a useless maternity ward.
Had two at Russian ozzy now, after initial, that's not right is it? stuff, saw that everyone there is treated equally and there are no complaints after you get over the lived in look of the place. Touch of spare claret on the deck, innocuous fluid spillage around a trolley. etc.
Calmette= A brand new coffee shop with state of the art D'Longhi machines run and operated by ex one star achieving McDonalds staff.
Thanks so much to all of you, a confidence booster and some good tips for the future.
Next one is about a Barang that ate his landlord. The day after the barang paid his deposit, the landlord went out and bought a steel chopsaw and some hand grinders, opening a 24hr steelworks in the rented house's spare room.
