Hospital Attendant
Background
Hospital Attendant is a hospital attendant at a Veterans Hospital in Los Angeles County, California.
During the events of Blackenstein (1973) played by John Dennis
Eddie Turner is in bed when the Hospital Attendant comes into his room. Eddie asks for ice cream and the Hospital Attendant tells him he doesn't have time to be giving him and the others special attention just because they were wounded in Vietnam. He then tells Eddie that his friends had a party for him when his draft lottery number was called, but he then had to go back and tell his friends he had been rejected for service for having a bad heart. The Hospital Attendant then criticizes Eddie for going to Vietnam and tells him, he and his friends' tax dollars will have to pay for his care. Days later, during the night, Eddie walks to the VA hospital and strangles the Hospital Attendant and rips off his arm, which Eddie then eats.
