I was running a study there so I wasn’t really on the staff. One of the patients was missing a portion of his skull. He’d tilt his head and it would slosh like a waterbed. He told me he’d been hit in the head with a metal pipe by a stranger … during the celebrations after the Red Sox won some championship. So that should give you an idea about what Boston is like. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] wazoobonkerbrain@lemmy.world 5 points 3 years ago (1 child) Oh my god that is so fucking awful.
