IHRT proudly presents "My Manic Dramas" a melodramatic theatrical take on Kruschinski's many "Dramas!" "Doc. Kru" plays himself as a woe- begone, poor me "Drama Queen".

Scene One recap: "Why does everyone hurt me?", moans Kru, as he throws himself across the fainting couch in perfect Garbo fashion!











Scene Four - The Russian Restaurant
...as the curtain rises we find "Kru" hosting patients at a very expensive resturant... ,
The Russian Restaurant, an hour by auto from the Seligenstadt Rondelle Apartments. Kru and M. drive the dinner party to the restaurant in their matching red and yellow sports cars.

The Restaurant is beautiful and Kru's party is seated in a private dining room.
Present are Kru, his OR nurse/personal assistant M., and her husband T. Also present are three female patients, the husband of one of the patients, and one other interesting person. It is a "Party of Eight, non-smoking section please", because one of the patients is allergic to smoke, latex, steri-strips, perfume, cologne, and Kollegen.

Kru is in high spirts, as he gloats over how much money he has made in the last few days.
He urges everyone to order anything they want from the menu, and he orders round after round of drinks for all at the table. Wine, beer, vodka shots, as much and as many as the diners desire.

Two of the patients had their "second look" just the day before and are still woozy from the anesthesia administered by the very attractive, young anesthesiologist at Emma Klinik, Dr. Thomas W., who wears black leather and rides to work at the Emma on his Harley motorcycle.
Although he had been invited, Dr. Thomas W. does not join the group at the restaurant because he had his wisdom teeth removed the day before, and his mouth is still packed with gauze.

At the mention of the absence of Dr. Thomas W., one of the patients at the dinner party states, "Yeh, the strangest thing happened yesterday morning when I woke up in the Recovery Room after my second look at the Emma. There, two feet away from me on the next guerney, who did I see but Dr. Thomas W., with bloody gauzes protruding from his mouth. I said to him, 'Dr. Thomas, what are you doing here?' Dr. Thomas answered, 'Well, after your procedure, I got up on the operating table and started my own IV. Not general anesthesia, just conscious sedation. Since I do not like the feel of dental dams in my mouth, Kru very kindly used his ABDOLIFT to keep my mouth open. Kru himself extracted my wisdom teeth because not only is he an adhesion Dr., he is a general surgeon, a plastic surgeon, and an oral surgeon.'"

Another pt at the dinner table then says, "Yes, I saw that also. I came to the Recovery Room to see you after your second look. At that time, Dr. Thomas was sitting up on the stretcher, singing and laughing. Then I saw Kru and his nurse eating pastry and drinking coffee in the corner of the Recover Room, and they offerred me some. I thought to myself, 'These Germans sure do things differently! Doctors giving their own anesthesia! Doctors and nurses eating in the Recovery Room! Multiple cross-training for physicians, and multiple uses of surgical equipment such as the abdolift!'"

This pt. goes on to state that "While I was there in the Recovery Room visiting, I asked Kru what the abdolift looks like. Kru quickly went into the Operating Room, and came out with the abdolift in his hand and he even let me hold it!" (This pt. is also thinking but does not say, "I wonder how that instrument got washed and sterilized so quickly?")

Well, back to the guests at the dinner party. Since Dr. Thomas W. has not been able to join them, in his place is Tyfune, the young and the restless very handsome hairsylist from the beauty salon in Selingenstadt "Town Square", which those of you who have been there know, is really a circle.

Tyfune's "flame" hairstyle is quite dramatic. Four inches straight up of jet black, with three inches of orange-gold tips. Tyfune is a good contact because he knows lots of women, potential future patients, and "in his hands, and only his hands" , he can produce the "best results". Tyfune brags that he has four lovers at present, and that at one time, he had seven girlfriends simultaneously. The guests politely listen, and Kru gives Tyfune a big smile and a fatherly nod of "Good job, boy, keep up the good work."
Tyfune agrees to hand out flyers at the beauty salon, proclaiming the miracle adhesion surgeries at Emma Klinik. Tyfune and Kru work out a reciprocal arrangement for referring patients/clients to each other.
Tyfune and Kru also work out an agreement whereby each future pt. who comes for surgery with Kru will get a FREE makeover and hairstyle from Tyfune, compliments of Dr. Kru.

Tyfune mentions that he does not use the old "waxing" method, because that method dries out the tissues and can cause trauma to the delicate skin under the eyebrows and surrounding the bikini line, and can even cause adhesions.
Instead of applying hot wax, Tyfune uses a "waxless" method of using short instruments, known in Germany as "tweezers". Using these instruments allows him to "actually see and feel" what he is doing, making his hair-removal method far superior to that of all other cosmetologists in the world.
Tyfune then turns to Kru and says, "Hey Dan the Man, you could use a makeover yourself. First off, let's lop off that 'comb-over' and change it to a flat-top. It is a more youthful look. You could use a little color too, Man." Kru nervously pats his head.












BEFORE.....................and....................AFTER

The evening progresses, with much laughter from most of the participants, but total muteness from two of the three patients, who did not have any relief of pain from their surgical procedures. These two do not partake in the drinking and frivolity, and just stare sadly at their plates.

By the end of the dinner and after-dinner brandies, both of the car drivers have had quite a bit to drink, but everyone else realizes that they are in the middle of a forest, with no clue how to get back.

The next day, the three patients talk. Nobody remembers what they had to eat.

Later that day, one of the patients goes to Tyfune's hair salon and gets her "waxless" procedure done. It is a miracle. Within hours, she rents a bicycle and pedals all the way to Ikea and back, an eight hour trip! She feels that good!
And only three days after her surgical procedure!

Stay tuned.
