So for this one we’re going to have to go way back in time to 1989. I was in fourth grade, Super Mario Brothers 3 had been out for a little while, and I was in the hospital. I had left school in the middle of the day in extreme pain in my abdomen and after being examined by the school nurse, my mother, who worked nearby, rushed me to the hospital. After being stabbed with an IV and having my temperature taken in the most uncomfortable way I’ve ever experienced, I was diagnosed with an inflamed appendix. Rather than operate on me immediately, the doctor wanted to admit me and observe me overnight. It was miserable.
