The visitor passes through the hospital corridor, when he sees his friend running out of the operating room, full of tubes:
__ Where are you going, boy?!
__ You're crazy, man, I'm going out!
__ But, what is it, boy?! A simple appendicitis operation! You take that out of the letter.
And the patient:
__ That's what the nurse was saying inside: “A little operation, boy! Courage! You take it out of hand! Go deep, man!"
__ So why are you running away?
__ Because she was saying this was for the doctor who was going to operate on me!
