“Hospitals are wonderful places for saving lives, but they're less effective as places where people heal, physically and mentally. Not the least of the issues is the fat that they never really leave you alone. Beyond the beeping of the machines and the general hum of a hospital all around you, there was a constant parade of doctors, nurses, lab technicians, X-ray technicians, and orderlies, and I was forever being wheeled down two floors to have yet another set of X-rays taken. Beyond worrying I'd glow in the dark for the rest of my life, I wished there could be greater coordination among all the various medical departments so that they could perhaps do one set of X-rays and CAT savages instead of the multiples ones they kept ordering. I realize it didn't help that the snowcat had managed to break or mangle so many disparate parts of my body, but still.”
