Drainage tubes ran out of his belly and side, and there was a catheter the size of a pencil coming out his penis. Nothing particularly hurt, so he had to assume he was on pretty nearly all the narcotics there were.

About This Quote

Drainage tubes ran out of his belly and side, and there was a catheter the size of a pencil coming out his penis. Nothing particularly hurt, so he had to assume he was on pretty nearly all the narcotics there were. This phrase means that people who are addicted to drugs are always under care of medical staff. They are like like having a catheter the size of a pencil coming out their penis or something else that is small. That is because they will only be able to take medication after it has been put into their bodies through that small tube.
