Read time: 1 minute, 367 words. A man is brought into the emergency room after an accident. He is bleeding badly. A doctor rushes over and prepares to treat him. Before the doctor can begin, the man interrupts. "Wait," he says. The doctor tries to stop the bleeding, but the man keeps talking. By the time the questions end, it is too late.
