Hospital Stay
After a few days in the hospital, Bruce claims a phone number was suddenly found hidden inside a Spanish phrase book in the bag he had been carrying. Little else was found on him other than some dog medicine; he had no wallet, bank cards, or other identifying documents. The phone number was the mother of a girl, Nadine Abramson, whom he had tried to court. Abramson goes to the hospital to identify him as 'Doug Bruce', a prosperous Englishman who had formerly been a successful banker in Paris, and was studying for a degree in photography at the School of Visual Arts in New York City.

Famous quotes containing the words hospital and/or stay:
“Radio put technology into storytelling and made it sick. TV killed it. Then you were locked into somebody else’s sighting of that story. You no longer had the benefit of making that picture for yourself, using your imagination. Storytelling brings back that humanness that we have lost with TV. You talk to children and they don’t hear you. They are television addicts. Mamas bring them home from the hospital and drag them up in front of the set and the great stare-out begins.”
—Jackie Torrence (b. 1944)
“Reading gives us someplace to go when we have to stay where we are.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
