Transcription
And I once got in a young man, he was asleep when he came and I just put him on the bed and he slept and he couldn't wake up, ya know you couldn't... So I opened, they had a little case just like a little waterproof thing right here with their details and all their stuff in it, and I took it and opened and it said that he was mental, ya know, that he a, and I recognized the psychiatrist because I had him with me in England in the hospital. This isn't a psychiatric case at all. He muttered and muttered about wounded soldiers and carrying them off the field so I knew darn well he must have been a stretcher bearer so when he came to he told me he was a stretcher bearer and so I just took his card and wrote on it, “This man's a stretcher bearer,’ and he did nothing but sleep here and I didn't want them to put, classify him for as a psychiatric case so I did my writing and I never heard anything about that.
