in this guy -- young fellow, not over

were all pretty callous about every-
thing. This patient was a nobody.
The police had also came in with the
ambulance, because it was a criminal
case. Since they hadn't caught whoever
else was involved, they kind of acted
like the victim was to blame..."

"...He said,"Well, we got him for this,
at least"... GOT WHAT? I wanted to just
scream out that this was a poor dead man,
not some possible misdemeanor violator!
Whatever his problems might have been,
HE was the one who was DEAD. Somewhere,
he probably has a family. I hardly think
think the discovery of a joint on his
person really mattered, anymore! The
disreguard some people show for the
premature end of a man's life is too
much for me. I was so ashamed at
their lack of respect!..."

<snip nurses cartoon> A good story, but it seemed like it would turn out like a joke and at the end, I kept waiting for the punch-line.
Pretty cool, ol man. Just couldn't find the punchline... DerBluT
Thanks for the reposts, folks. Yah, maybe it lacks and end punch-line.
On the other hand, it really happened that way, and I thought "cuff
him before..." was pretty funny.
Anyways, it's posted.
