Joseph Heller Quote

Doc Daneeka gave him a pill and a shot that put him to sleep for twelve hours. When Yossarian woke up and went to see him, Doc Daneeka gave him another pill and a shot that put him to sleep for another twelve hours. When Yossarian woke up again and went to see him, Doc Daneeka made ready to give him another pill and a shot. How long are you going to keep giving me those pills and shots? Yossarian asked him. Until you feel better. I feel all right now. Doc Daneeka’s fragile suntanned forehead furrowed with surprise. Then why don’t you put some clothes on? Why are you walking around naked? I don’t want to wear a uniform any more. Doc Daneeka accepted the explanation and put away his hypodermic syringe. Are you sure you feel all right? I feel fine. I’m just a little logy from all those pills and shots you’ve been giving me.
