description This essay explores Hemingway's treatment for a spiral fracture at St. Vincent's Hospital, which was staffed by the Sisters of Charity of Leavenworth after a 1930 car crash in Billings, Montana. It details the surgical intervention to repair the fracture, which used sutures made of kangaroo tail and Hemingway's subsequent fourteen-week recovery. The essay also explores how Hemingway's stay at the hospital influenced his short story, "The Gambler, the Nun, and the Radio."
