A friend of a friend was a new nurse in a new high rise hospital where she mostly has clerical duties. One midday in the lunchroom, her break is broken when a man across the way from her starts making alarming choking sounds. A room full of nurses might humorously seem like an ideal location for choking, but our friend of a friend nurse has been away from hands-on medical aid for some time, she's been busy on the computer w/the files for years, and could only notice that the other more proficient nurses seemed to be ignoring the situation. Confused and frustrated with their behavior she rushes over to the man (He's a large man, not unlike myself, this big Irish head's gotta ride on a big body. size isn't everything)
She awkwardly positions herself behind him and begins to vigorously hug him,again and again from behind. It's a bit difficult because of the man's size, but she presses on. again and again. His choking breaks up some to a rasp and he mumbles that he'll be all right.
After he shyly ambles off, our nurse turns to scowl & glare at her fellow professionals when one of them declares, "the police have been called, he's done this before."
I'm thinking that things aren't always as they seem. Maybe this guy wasn't a manipulative, sexual deviant. Maybe he was at the point where he Must have a hug. The things we do for love.
A guy I kinda know once talked about going to a professional massage therapist and decidedly took a Viagra beforehand. I'm thinking that things aren't always as they seem. Maybe he loved when his lover laughed, it would be so precious when he told her. The things we do for love.
