Feb 2020

When I was in the Hospital I got very pissed when in the middle of the night a nurse came in and without waking me, shoved a thermometer in my ear.. I felt it and woke up right away and screamed at her. She said all the patients were required to be monitored all night... but I told he if you want my temperature than wake me up first. I told her she was lucky I didn't attack her for attacking me, which it was exactly that. An Assault.
