0:50
coming in with terminal cancer and they
0:56
were gone within a week you know I need
0:58
them and then they'd be passing away and
1:02
the elderly people I was rolling with
1:06
would be calling their children saying
1:08
how they wish they were dead so it was
1:10
pretty depressing yeah and I had a lot
1:13

1:16
good physical therapist and I also had
