As my brother was dying we begged the doctor to please give us a private room for the family since we were at the point where he was on a morphine drip and expected to pass at any time from cirrhosis(he was also yellow). Didn't think that was much to ask of the doctor. After a hour they began moving the other patient out who had a broken arm, In the middle of all this shit of the two familys moving about in the room my brother passed. Still got big feelings about that spectacle, So yeah he was just another alcoholic.
