>>9968292I was in gifted class, Brooklyn NY. A lot of good artists at early ages. I remember the hearing tests and being taken aside for some reason (do not recall if I hear better or worse than others). A little later I had an ear infection and had to go to hospital. I remember Dr.'s making me squeeze reel hard on what looked like the rubber from a crutch. There were like 3 or 4 Dr.'s, all in masks, in what looked like a dark and unused surgery room (just a bed or chair in the middle). They gave me a vary painful needle on the base of my fist and afterwards I felt OK. It seemed like an unused area of hospital and my dad was just hanging around in the hallway. It was a strange experience that I always remembered.
I remember the doctors telling my some weird shit like it was going to be very painful... And it was. But I later I felt very good when it was over (like the end result of hypnosis and feeling great upon awakening). I did not have any surgery performed... Just taken into a room unexpectedly, injected and given back to my dad who was standing in the hallway.
