I followed Dad into a big... «The Pale-Faced Lie»
cat_on_the_shelf22 января 2022I followed Dad into a big office where he signed the medical release forms. The doctor behind the desk asked him, “Mr. Crow, how did your son get on top of the house and fall onto the concrete? He’s only six years old.”
Dad blasted out of the chair, waving the forms in one hand and the pen in the other. “The little son of a bitch thinks he can fly,” he said. “And his mother sits on her ass all day watching TV.”
The doctor frowned. “Sir, that’s—”
Dad leaned over and jabbed the pen into his white smock. “All of you goddamn doctors are capitalist frauds making money off people’s misery and suffering. You bastards don’t care if you cure anybody as long as they keep coming back to spend every last dollar you blood suckers can extract.”
What was Dad talking about? Every time Sam got hurt, the doctors patched him up. It was Mom’s fault he kept getting hurt.
