Doug Bruce - Hospital Stay

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.
