[When my knee got bad I didn't notice. Then a grey conic pimple appeared and the whole leg got in pain. Nurse Sorokina working with Physician Meyer simply kicked me out, "Look what she concocted! Creeps with pimples!"]
Overcoming the pain, barely conscious I continued carrying water to the fifth floor. I don't remember how and when I collapsed. They found me on the stairs. I laid my head down and bosomed Zina Pop's fur jacket so firmly they couldn't open my arms. I rambled, the leg was swollen like a log, crimson blots appeared all over the body. An ambulance brought me to the camp's central hospital with the diagnosis of septic fever.
