An unheeded plea.

Abstract

This brief piece of creative writing presents a case of an elderly woman being treated for atherosclerosis via angioplasty. What was particularly unforgettable to the author was that the elderly woman repeatedly remarked that she needed to use the bathroom. Sadly, complications arose in the supposedly minor and low-risk procedure, and she was never able to use the bathroom as she had hoped to. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2019 APA, all rights reserved).
