Coughing

December 13, 2014

Outside my door.

It was a female cough.

It seems to be a habit for a few of the patients to cough when they get into the hallway outside my room.

I have yet to hear a summation of what anyone who abuses me in person thinks I did to deserve it.  Whatever other people say or hear about me, I don't know what it is, or how the coughing or other gestures are passed from one person to the next.

Because I am stigmatized to the point of being dehumanized, nobody tells me.
