No save-a-ho project ever happening
[QUOTE=Prof30;7027947]Goddamn that's a depressingly real look at the shit life going on around us.
But. No fucking way I'd be the emergency contact for any of these girls, much less the out of control dope fiends or tweakers.
Yeah, shit situation, but it ain't mine to clean up.[/QUOTE]Hospitals have professional social workers, this one did too, and I'm not one of them. I "cleaned up" nothing.
Didn't try, made it clear up-front that wasn't going to be on the menu, and don't even let any idea of shacking-up ever get started, not by her, and even more so not by the hospital staff that needed a place to send her or at least say they did for the discharge file. As I described earlier, that was for the social worker to deal with, and she spent a lot of time working on all that and did it well.
I was simply the most real phone number she had, and someone who just happens to have some longstanding habits like being where I say, when I say, if I say. That's all. Not a real high bar, but just a little bit more "adulty" than others apparently. No expense beyond some extra gas. No rescue crap involved. Doesn't matter if it's a working girl or the Queen of all England, I don't believe in it. Fancy word for that is "enabling" and I believe that's always a bad idea by any name. Doesn't ever end well for anyone, IMO. Only person responsible for her mess was, and is, her. But I'm not above imitating a human, taking some phone calls & making a couple, gathering some documents, and giving a ride with a piece of some free advice: that her choice is stupid, but hers to make.
Now if I ever thought for a minute there were any bedbugs involved, then fuck it, getting those almost un-killable little critters crawling around is worse than being incinerated. Dealt with that once 20 years ago, and I'm not even getting near THAT for anyone, or anything, anywhere, anytime if I can help it. But a mummified hooker strapped into the passenger seat for a ride across town, I can deal with.
