"So, so I make the decision that I'm gonna — I call my buddy. He picks me up. He drives me to the hospital. I have — I'm like in my mind, okay, gallbladder."

Clark recounts what he describes as an extreme act during active addiction: presenting at hospital with a plan to have his gallbladder removed, believing it would lead to opioid administration and help him avoid withdrawal while waiting for money. He says the procedure ultimately produced less take-home medication than he anticipated, but did bridge him through to a payday.
