AB  - ONE  OF  MY  most  vivid  memories  of  being  hospitalized  as  a  child  was  awakening  in  the  middle  of  the  night  with  my  bed  sheets  soaked  in  blood.  I  was  alone,  since  parents  were  not  allowed  to  sleep  in  the  hospital  back  then.  I  walked  down  the  hall  to  find  someone  to  help,  noticed  two  doctors  sitting  in  a  workroom  scribbling  on  charts,  and  stood  in  the  doorway  frozen  in  silence  until  they  noticed  me,  cleaned  me  up,  and  gave  me  a  fresh  gown.  The  blood  was  just  a  blown  IV,  but  it  looked  like  death  to  a  terrified  7-year-old  boy.  The  next  evening,  when  my  parents  left  to  go  home  after  visiting  hours  were  over,  I  told  them,  “I  won't  see  you  tomorrow.”  When  they  asked  why,  I  said,  “I  am  going  to  die  tonight.”
