A few years ago,
0
12825
1898
Pre par godina,
00:14
my mom developed rheumatoid arthritis.
1
14747
3546
moja majka je dobila reumatoidni artritis.
00:18
Her wrists, knees and toes swelled up, causing crippling, chronic pain.
2
18989
6099
Zglobovi, kolena i prsti su joj otekli i izazvali onesposobljavajuć hroničan bol.
00:26
She had to file for disability.
3
26391
1690
Postala je invalid.
00:28
She stopped attending our local mosque.
4
28734
2000
Prestala je da ide u našu džamiju.
00:31
Some mornings it was too painful for her to brush her teeth.
5
31516
3397
Bilo je jutara kada joj je i pranje zuba bilo previše bolno.
00:36
I wanted to help.
6
36339
1177
Želeo sam da pomognem.
00:38
But I didn't know how.
7
38500
1766
Ali nisam znao kako.
00:40
I'm not a doctor.
8
40716
1225
Nisam doktor.
00:43
So, what I am is a historian of medicine.
9
43005
4006
Jesam istoričar medicine.
00:47
So I started to research the history of chronic pain.
10
47930
3462
Tako sam počeo da istražujem istoriju hroničnog bola.
00:51
Turns out, UCLA has an entire history of pain collection
11
51957
4021
Ispostavlja se da UCLA ima čitavu kolekciju istorije bola
00:56
in their archives.
12
56002
1164
u svojim arhivima.
00:58
And I found a story -- a fantastic story --
13
58593
3452
Naišao sam na fantastičnu priču
01:02
of a man who saved -- rescued -- millions of people from pain;
14
62069
5796
o čoveku koji je spasio milione ljudi od bola;
01:07
people like my mom.
15
67889
1388
ljude kao što je moja majka.
01:10
Yet, I had never heard of him.
16
70772
1460
Iako nisam čuo ništa o njemu,
01:12
There were no biographies of him, no Hollywood movies.
17
72256
3632
nije bilo njegovih biografija ili holivudskih filmova.
01:16
His name was John J. Bonica.
18
76483
3789
Zvao se Džon Dž. Bonika.
01:21
But when our story begins,
19
81070
1548
Ali u vreme početka naše priče,
01:22
he was better known as Johnny "Bull" Walker.
20
82642
4113
bio je poznat kao Džoni "Bik" Voker.
01:28
It was a summer day in 1941.
21
88611
2340
Letnji dan 1941. godine.
01:31
The circus had just arrived in the tiny town of Brookfield, New York.
22
91857
5160
Cirkus tek što je stigao u maleni grad Brukfild u Njujorku.
01:37
Spectators flocked to see the wire-walkers, the tramp clowns --
23
97486
3921
Posmatrači su se gurali da vide hodače na žici, klovnove -
01:41
if they were lucky, the human cannonball.
24
101431
2735
ako su imali sreće, i čoveka đule.
01:44
They also came to see the strongman, Johnny "Bull" Walker,
25
104190
3884
Došli su da vide i snagatora, Džonija "Bika" Vokera.
01:48
a brawny bully who'd pin you for a dollar.
26
108098
3333
mišićavog siledžiju koji bi vas oborio za dolar.
01:52
You know, on that particular day, a voice rang out
27
112467
2941
Baš tog dana čuo se glas
01:55
over the circus P.A. system.
28
115432
1985
na cirkuskom razglasu.
01:57
They needed a doctor urgently, in the live animal tent.
29
117441
3837
Hitno im je trebao doktor u šatoru sa životinjama.
02:01
Something had gone wrong with the lion tamer.
30
121302
2384
Nešto se desilo krotitelju lavova.
02:03
The climax of his act had gone wrong,
31
123710
3129
Vrhunac njegove tačke pošao je po zlu
02:06
and his head was stuck inside the lion's mouth.
32
126863
4196
i glava mu je bila zaglavljena u lavljim čeljustima.
02:11
He was running out of air;
33
131629
1659
Nestajao mu je vazduh;
02:13
the crowd watched in horror
34
133312
2167
masa je sa užasom gledala kako se borio,
02:15
as he struggled and then passed out.
35
135503
2904
a zatim onesvestio.
02:18
When the lion finally did relax its jaws,
36
138788
3261
Kada je lav konačno popustio stisak,
02:22
the lion tamer just slumped to the ground, motionless.
37
142073
4454
krotitelj se srušio na zemlju, nepomičan.
02:27
When he came to a few minutes later,
38
147813
2369
Kada se nakon par minuta osvestio,
02:30
he saw a familiar figure hunched over him.
39
150206
2140
video je poznatu siluetu nagnutu nad njim.
02:33
It was Bull Walker.
40
153169
2000
Bio je to "Bik" Voker.
02:35
The strongman had given the lion tamer mouth-to-mouth, and saved his life.
41
155816
5233
Snagator je spasio život krotitelju pruživši mu veštačko disanje.
02:42
Now, the strongman hadn't told anyone,
42
162864
1828
Snagator nikome nije rekao,
02:44
but he was actually a third-year medical student.
43
164716
3459
ali on je zapravo bio na trećoj godini medicinskog fakulteta.
02:48
He toured with the circus during summers to pay tuition,
44
168788
3662
Radio je u cirkusu preko leta da bi platio školarinu,
02:52
but kept it a secret to protect his persona.
45
172474
2710
ali je to krio da bi zaštitio svoj ugled.
02:55
He was supposed to be a brute, a villain --
46
175787
3404
Trebalo je da bude zver, zlikovac;
02:59
not a nerdy do-gooder.
47
179215
2222
a ne štreber i dobrica.
03:02
His medical colleagues didn't know his secret, either.
48
182535
2597
Ni njegove kolege na fakultetu nisu znale tu tajnu.
03:05
As he put it, "If you were an athlete, you were a dumb dodo."
49
185156
4079
Kako je rekao, "Ako si bio sportista, bio si glupan."
03:09
So he didn't tell them about the circus,
50
189849
2471
Nije im rekao za cirkus,
03:12
or about how he wrestled professionally on evenings and weekends.
51
192344
5317
ni za svoje profesionalno rvanje večerima i vikendima.
03:18
He used a pseudonym like Bull Walker,
52
198353
2620
Koristio je pseudonim "Bik" Voker,
03:20
or later, the Masked Marvel.
53
200997
1929
a kasnije Maskirano Čudo.
03:23
He even kept it a secret that same year,
54
203627
3508
To je čak ostala tajna i one godine
03:27
when he was crowned the Light Heavyweight Champion
55
207159
3359
kada je postao svetski šampion
03:30
of the world.
56
210542
1229
u poluteškoj kategoriji.
03:33
Over the years, John J. Bonica lived these parallel lives.
57
213313
4606
Godinama je Džon Dž. Bonika živeo paralelnim životima.
03:38
He was a wrestler;
58
218515
1694
Bio je rvač;
03:40
he was a doctor.
59
220233
1157
bio je doktor.
03:41
He was a heel;
60
221788
1522
Bio je zlikovac;
03:43
he was a hero.
61
223334
1157
bio je heroj.
03:45
He inflicted pain,
62
225038
1796
Nanosio je bol,
03:46
and he treated it.
63
226858
1158
i lečio ga.
03:49
And he didn’t know it at the time, but over the next five decades,
64
229242
3502
Tada nije znao, ali u sledećih 50 godina
03:52
he'd draw on these dueling identities
65
232768
2818
iz ovih sukobljenih identiteta
03:55
to forge a whole new way to think about pain.
66
235610
3313
proizvešće potpuno novo razmišljanje o bolu.
03:59
It'd change modern medicine so much so, that decades later,
67
239620
4130
Promeniće modernu medicinu u toj meri, da će ga decenijama kasnije
04:03
Time magazine would call him pain relief's founding father.
68
243774
4502
časopis Tajm proglasiti osnivačem tehnika ublažavanja bola.
04:09
But that all happened later.
69
249351
1493
Sve se to desilo kasnije.
04:12
In 1942, Bonica graduated medical school and married Emma,
70
252179
5612
1942. Bonika je diplomirao medicinu i oženio se Emom,
04:17
his sweetheart, whom he had met at one of his matches years before.
71
257815
3676
svojom dragom, koju je upoznao na jednom meču godinama ranije.
04:22
He still wrestled in secret -- he had to.
72
262505
2816
I dalje se tajno rvao - morao je.
04:25
His internship at New York's St. Vincent's Hospital paid nothing.
73
265781
4647
Nije primao platu dok je stažirao u bolnici Sv. Vinsenta u Njujorku.
04:31
With his championship belt, he wrestled in big-ticket venues,
74
271101
3752
Pošto je bio šampion, rvao se na prestižnim mestima,
04:34
like Madison Square Garden,
75
274877
1937
kao što je Medison Skver Garden,
04:36
against big-time opponents,
76
276838
1676
protiv ozbiljnih protivnika
04:38
like Everett "The Blonde Bear" Marshall,
77
278538
2849
kao što je Everet "Plavi Medved" Maršal,
04:41
or three-time world champion, Angelo Savoldi.
78
281411
3642
ili trostruki svetski šampion, Anđelo Savoldi.
04:46
The matches took a toll on his body;
79
286192
2777
Mečevi su ostavili traga na njemu;
04:48
he tore hip joints, fractured ribs.
80
288993
3278
dislocirao je kukove, lomio rebra.
04:52
One night, The Terrible Turk's big toe scratched a scar like Capone's
81
292295
4898
Jedne noći mu je Strašni Turčin palcem na nozi napravio ožiljak na licu
04:57
down the side of his face.
82
297217
1302
pa je izgledao kao Kapone.
04:59
The next morning at work, he had to wear a surgical mask to hide it.
83
299302
4039
Sutradan na poslu morao je da nosi masku da bi sakrio ranu.
05:04
Twice Bonica showed up to the O.R. with one eye so bruised,
84
304450
4614
Dva puta se pojavio u operacionoj sali sa okom toliko naduvenim
05:09
he couldn't see out of it.
85
309088
1246
da nije mogao na njega da vidi.
05:11
But worst of all were his mangled cauliflower ears.
86
311138
4503
Najgore od svega bile su njegove unakažene uši poput karfiola.
05:16
He said they felt like two baseballs on the sides of his head.
87
316094
3408
Rekao je da su kao dve bejzbol loptice koje mu vise sa glave.
05:21
Pain just kept accumulating in his life.
88
321153
3262
Bol se samo nakupljao u njegovom životu.
05:25
Next, he watched his wife go into labor at his hospital.
89
325177
3556
Kasnije je posmatrao svoju ženu kako se porađa u njegovoj bolnici.
05:29
She heaved and pushed, clearly in anguish.
90
329509
3124
Uzdisala je i gurala, očigledno u mukama.
05:33
Her obstetrician called out to the intern on duty
91
333657
2444
Njen akušer pozvao je dežurnog stažistu
05:36
to give her a few drops of ether to ease her pain.
92
336125
2508
da joj da par kapi etra da bi joj olakšao bol.
05:39
But the intern was a young guy, just three weeks on the job --
93
339519
3361
Ali stažista je bio mlad, sa samo tri nedelje iskustva;
05:42
he was jittery, and in applying the ether,
94
342904
2936
bio je nervozan, i kada joj je davao etar,
05:45
irritated Emma's throat.
95
345864
1828
iritirao je Emino grlo.
05:48
She vomited and choked, and started to turn blue.
96
348145
3948
Povraćala je i počela da se guši, a lice joj je poplavelo.
05:52
Bonica, who was watching all this, pushed the intern out of the way,
97
352895
5340
Bonika, koji je sve gledao, gurnuo je stažistu u stranu,
05:58
cleared her airway,
98
358259
1581
oslobodio joj disajni put
05:59
and saved his wife and his unborn daughter.
99
359864
2818
i spasio svoju ženu i nerođenu ćerku.
06:04
At that moment, he decided to devote his life to anesthesiology.
100
364172
4845
Tog trenutka odlučio je da život posveti anesteziologiji.
06:09
Later, he'd even go on to help develop the epidural, for delivering mothers.
101
369414
5412
Kasnije je radio na razvoju epiduralne anestezije pri porođaju.
06:14
But before he could focus on obstetrics,
102
374850
2135
Da bi dospeo do akušerstva,
06:17
Bonica had to report for basic training.
103
377009
2756
Bonika je morao da prođe osnovnu obuku.
06:22
Right around D-Day,
104
382373
1594
Baš oko Dana D,
06:23
Bonica showed up to Madigan Army Medical Center,
105
383991
3222
Bonika odlazi u Vojni medicinski centar u Mediganu
06:27
near Tacoma.
106
387237
1150
u blizini Takome.
06:28
At 7,700 beds, it was one of the largest army hospitals in America.
107
388783
4693
Sa 7.700 kreveta, bila je jedna od najvećih vojnih bolnica u Americi.
06:34
Bonica was in charge of all pain control there.
108
394242
2694
Bonika je bio zadužen za ublažavanje bola.
06:37
He was only 27.
109
397618
2000
Imao je samo 27 godina.
06:40
Treating so many patients, Bonica started noticing cases
110
400470
3294
Lečeći toliko pacijenata, Bonika je počeo primećivati
06:43
that contradicted everything he had learned.
111
403788
2495
slučajeve koji su protivrečili svemu što je znao.
06:46
Pain was supposed to be a kind of alarm bell -- in a good way --
112
406976
4846
Bol je trebalo da bude zdravo upozorenje,
06:51
a body's way of signaling an injury, like a broken arm.
113
411846
3600
signal koji telo stvara kada nastane povreda.
06:56
But in some cases,
114
416538
1612
Ali u nekim slučajevima,
06:58
like after a patient had a leg amputated,
115
418174
3475
kao nakon amputacije noge,
07:01
that patient might still complain of pain in that nonexistent leg.
116
421673
4021
pacijent se ipak žalio na bol u nepostojećoj nozi.
07:06
But if the injury had been treated, why would the alarm bell keep ringing?
117
426231
3992
Ako je povreda izlečena, zašto upozorenje i dalje postoji?
07:10
There were other cases in which there was no evidence of an injury whatsoever,
118
430861
4129
Postojali su i slučajevi u kojima nije bilo nikakve povrede,
07:15
and yet, still the patient hurt.
119
435014
2482
a ipak se pacijent žalio na bol.
07:18
Bonica tracked down all the specialists at his hospital -- surgeons,
120
438678
3968
Bonika se našao sa specijalistima u svojoj bolnici -
07:22
neurologists, psychiatrists, others.
121
442670
2338
hirurzima, neurolozima, psihijatrima i drugima.
07:25
And he tried to get their opinions on his patients.
122
445782
3076
Zatražio je njihova mišljenja o pacijentima.
07:29
It took too long, so he started organizing group meetings over lunch.
123
449643
4974
To je predugo trajalo, pa je organizovao sastanke za vreme ručka.
07:35
It would be like a tag team of specialists going up against the patient's pain.
124
455123
4466
Stvorio je tim specijalista koji su se borili protiv bola.
07:39
No one had ever focused on pain this way before.
125
459613
3940
Niko se do tad nije skoncentrisao na bol na ovaj način.
07:44
After that, he hit the books.
126
464928
2000
Nakon toga, počeo je da čita.
07:47
He read every medical textbook he could get his hands on,
127
467845
2863
Pročitao je svaku knjigu o medicini koju je mogao da nađe,
07:50
carefully noting every mention of the word "pain."
128
470732
2551
beležeći svaki put kada bi se spomenula reč "bol".
07:54
Out of the 14,000 pages he read,
129
474282
3881
Od 14.000 strana koje je pročitao,
07:58
the word "pain" was on 17 and a half of them.
130
478187
4176
reč "bol" nalazila se na 17 i po.
08:02
Seventeen and a half.
131
482908
2002
Sedamnaest i po.
08:04
For the most basic, most common, most frustrating part of being a patient.
132
484934
5272
Za najosnovniji, najčešći, najviše frustrirajući osećaj svakog pacijenta.
08:10
Bonica was shocked -- I'm quoting him,
133
490875
2107
Bonika je bio zaprepašćen - citiram,
08:13
he said, "What the hell kind of conclusion can you come to there?
134
493006
4454
"Do kakvog zaključka se odande može doći?
08:17
The most important thing from the patient's perspective,
135
497484
3182
O najbitnijoj stvari iz perspektive pacijenta
08:20
they don't talk about."
136
500690
1365
oni uopšte ne govore."
08:23
So over the next eight years, Bonica would talk about it.
137
503295
3890
Tako je sledećih osam godina Bonika govorio o tome.
08:27
He'd write about it; he'd write those missing pages.
138
507209
2445
Pisao je o tome; ispisao je stranice koje nedostaju.
08:30
He wrote what would later be known as the Bible of Pain.
139
510057
3714
Napisao je knjigu kasnije poznatu kao Biblija Bola.
08:34
In it he proposed new strategies,
140
514575
3417
U njoj je izlagao nove strategije,
08:38
new treatments using nerve-block injections.
141
518016
3574
nove postupke anestetiziranja nerava.
08:41
He proposed a new institution, the Pain Clinic,
142
521614
2743
Predložio je instituciju, Kliniku Bola,
08:44
based on those lunchtime meetings.
143
524381
1998
koja se zasnivala na onim sastancima za vreme ručka.
08:47
But the most important thing about his book
144
527248
2411
Najbitnija stvar u vezi sa njegovom knjigom
08:49
was that it was kind of an emotional alarm bell for medicine.
145
529683
4082
je to što je predstavljala emotivno buđenje u medicini.
08:54
A desperate plea to doctors to take pain seriously
146
534486
5981
Molba doktorima da shvate bol ozbiljno
09:00
in patients' lives.
147
540491
1396
u životima svojih pacijenata.
09:03
He recast the very purpose of medicine.
148
543321
3269
Izmenio je sam smisao medicine.
09:07
The goal wasn't to make patients better;
149
547373
4185
Cilj nije bio da pacijentu bude bolje;
09:11
it was to make patients feel better.
150
551582
3352
cilj je bio da se pacijent oseća bolje.
09:16
He pushed his pain agenda for decades,
151
556955
2087
Decenijama je pričao o bolu,
09:19
before it finally took hold in the mid-'70s.
152
559066
3018
Do '70-ih kada je konačno dobio priznanje.
09:22
Hundreds of pain clinics sprung up all over the world.
153
562831
3454
Stotine klinika za bol pojavile su se u svetu.
09:27
But as they did -- a tragic twist.
154
567711
3230
Ali dok se to dešavalo, desila se i jedna tragična stvar.
09:31
Bonica's years of wrestling caught up to him.
155
571754
3161
Godine rvanja ostavile su posledice na Boniki.
09:36
He had been out of the ring for over 20 years,
156
576597
2152
Nije bio u ringu više od 20 godina,
09:38
but those 1,500 professional bouts had left a mark on his body.
157
578773
4305
ali tih 1.500 mečeva ostavilo je trag na njegovom telu.
09:43
Still in his mid-50s, he suffered severe osteoarthritis.
158
583769
4069
Još u 50-im godinama dobio je ozbiljan osteoartritis.
09:48
Over the next 20 years he'd have 22 surgeries,
159
588360
4019
Za sledećih 20 godina imao je 22 operacije,
09:52
including four spine operations,
160
592403
2527
od čega četiri operacije kičme,
09:54
and hip replacement after hip replacement.
161
594954
2567
i mnogobrojne operacije kukova.
09:58
He could barely raise his arm, turn his neck.
162
598110
3257
Jedva je dizao ruke i okretao vrat.
10:02
He needed aluminum crutches to walk.
163
602144
2653
Bile su mu potrebne štake da bi hodao.
10:05
His friends and former students became his doctors.
164
605879
4020
Prijatelji i bivši studenti postali su mu doktori.
10:09
One recalled that he probably had more nerve-block injections
165
609923
4202
Jedan je izjavio da je on verovatno primio više anestezija
10:14
than anyone else on the planet.
166
614149
2578
nego iko na planeti.
10:18
Already a workaholic, he worked even more --
167
618043
3438
Već radoholičar, radio je još više -
10:21
15- to 18-hour days.
168
621505
1946
15 do 18 sati dnevno.
10:23
Healing others became more than just his job,
169
623922
2509
Lečenje mu je postalo više od posla,
10:26
it was his own most effective form of relief.
170
626455
2722
njegov najefektivniji oblik olakšanja.
10:30
"If I wasn't as busy as I am," he told a reporter at the time,
171
630510
3811
"Da nisam ovako zauzet," rekao je jednom reporteru,
10:34
"I would be a completely disabled guy."
172
634345
3185
"bio bih potpuni invalid."
10:39
On a business trip to Florida in the early 1980s,
173
639423
3539
Na poslovnom putu na Floridi ranih '80-ih,
10:42
Bonica got a former student to drive him to the Hyde Park area in Tampa.
174
642986
5332
Bonika se sa studentom odvezao do parka Hajd u Tampi.
10:49
They drove past palm trees and pulled up to an old mansion,
175
649338
4144
Prolazili su pored palmi i zaustavili se kraj stare vile,
10:53
with giant silver howitzer cannons hidden in the garage.
176
653506
4610
sa ogromnim topovima skrivenim u garaži.
10:58
The house belonged to the Zacchini family,
177
658895
2939
Kuća je pripadala porodici Zakini,
11:01
who were something like American circus royalty.
178
661858
2972
koji su bili nešto poput cirkuske aristokratije u Americi.
11:06
Decades earlier, Bonica had watched them,
179
666229
2573
Godinama ranije, Bonika ih je gledao,
11:08
clad in silver jumpsuits and goggles,
180
668826
2887
obučene u srebrna odela sa naočarima,
11:11
doing the act they pioneered -- the Human Cannonball.
181
671737
3768
kako izvode tačku koju su smislili - Čovek đule.
11:16
But now they were like him: retired.
182
676772
3075
Sada su bili kao i on - u penziji.
11:21
That generation is all dead now, including Bonica,
183
681267
3571
Ta generacija, zajedno sa Bonikom, sada je nestala
11:24
so there's no way to know exactly what they said that day.
184
684862
2943
tako da se ne može znati o čemu su tada pričali.
11:28
But still, I love imagining it.
185
688475
2000
Ipak, volim da zamišljam.
11:31
The strongman and the human cannonballs reunited,
186
691233
3253
Snagator i Ljudi đulad ponovo na okupu,
11:34
showing off old scars, and new ones.
187
694510
2453
hvale se starim i novim ožiljcima.
11:37
Maybe Bonica gave them medical advice.
188
697802
2256
Možda im je Bonika dao savete u vezi zdravlja.
11:40
Maybe he told them what he later said in an oral history,
189
700082
5326
Možda im je rekao ono što je i kasnije izjavio u usmenom predanju,
11:45
which is that his time in the circus and wrestling deeply molded his life.
190
705432
5906
da su život u cirkusu i rvanje duboko obeležili njegov život.
11:53
Bonica saw pain close up.
191
713286
2684
Bonika je gledao bolu u oči.
11:57
He felt it. He lived it.
192
717236
2000
Osetio ga je. Živeo ga.
12:00
And it made it impossible for him to ignore in others.
193
720453
4017
Zbog toga nije mogao da ga ne primeti u drugima.
12:05
Out of that empathy, he spun a whole new field,
194
725449
3114
Iz te empatije, razvio je celo polje,
12:08
played a major role in getting medicine to acknowledge pain
195
728587
3112
imao ogromnu ulogu u borbi sa medicinom oko shvatanja bola
12:11
in and of itself.
196
731723
1252
kao nezavisne pojave.
12:14
In that same oral history,
197
734627
1912
U tom istom usmenom predanju,
12:16
Bonica claimed that pain
198
736563
2509
Bonika je tvrdio da je bol
12:19
is the most complex human experience.
199
739096
4257
najsloženije ljudsko iskustvo.
12:24
That it involves your past life, your current life,
200
744215
3814
Da uključuje vašu prošlost, sadašnjost,
12:28
your interactions, your family.
201
748053
2190
interakcije, porodicu.
12:31
That was definitely true for Bonica.
202
751256
2555
Ovo se sigurno odnosilo na Boniku.
12:34
But it was also true for my mom.
203
754593
2671
Ali se takođe odnosi i na moju majku.
12:40
It's easy for doctors to see my mom
204
760043
3299
Doktorima je lako da je vide
12:43
as a kind of professional patient,
205
763366
3262
sa profesionalne strane,
12:46
a woman who just spends her days in waiting rooms.
206
766652
3818
kao ženu koja život provodi u čekaonicama.
12:51
Sometimes I get stuck seeing her that same way.
207
771714
2891
Ponekad je čak i ja tako vidim.
12:57
But as I saw Bonica's pain --
208
777076
1967
Ali kada sam video Bonikin bol,
12:59
a testament to his fully lived life --
209
779067
4532
dokaz života proživljenog punim plućima,
13:03
I started to remember all the things that my mom's pain holds.
210
783623
4507
počeo sam se prisećati svih stvari koje nosi bol moje majke.
13:10
Before they got swollen and arthritic,
211
790370
3768
Pre nego što su otekli i ukočili se,
13:14
my mom's fingers clacked away
212
794162
3315
prsti moje majke su vredno kuckali
13:17
in the hospital H.R. department where she worked.
213
797501
2898
u kadrovskoj službi bolnice u kojoj je radila.
13:21
They folded samosas for our entire mosque.
214
801150
4088
Spremali su samose za celu našu džamiju.
13:26
When I was a kid, they cut my hair,
215
806734
3701
Kad sam bio mali, šišali su mi kosu,
13:30
wiped my nose,
216
810459
2452
brisali nos,
13:32
tied my shoes.
217
812935
1650
vezivali pertle.
13:41
Thank you.
218
821832
1325
Hvala vam.
13:43
(Applause)
