Subway Crash Diary of a Frantic Patient in 1890s Houston Post
A fragmentary diary piece from the New York Times Fed style column recounts a man’s vain medical misadventures. He visits several doctors, suffers misdiagnoses, and endures costly, futile treatments while contending with a failing health and dwindling funds. The narrative pivots on crude office banter and comic misuses of medical authority. The piece also includes stray humor about a mother-in-law and an urban social scene.
