"Everybody talking to their pockets
Everybody wants a box of chocolates
And a long stem rose"
— Leonard Cohen, "Everybody Knows"
Note: I checked a number of hospitals concerning rules and volunteering jobs, using the ones that worked best with the story. So it's a bit of a hodgepodge, and I pushed at least one or two limits, but it fit the story, which is ultimately the most important thing.
Also if you're looking to help your community, seriously consider volunteering at a hospital. They need the help and it can be very rewarding.
We don't normally provide warning with our stories but thought that one might be warranted for this one since it deals with something we've not really covered in our stories before and that is Institutional Cannibalism. I know it's an odd phrase but if it sounds like this would disturb you we wanted you to be aware of it.

"Tricksters, magicians will show you all that's real
Careless jugglers, snakecharmers by your trail
Magic of a moment
Abracadabra..."
