“Yes, it hurts!”

Napoleon winced in sympathy as his partner expressed graphically the tormenting pain he was enduring. He was quietly grateful…

“I’ve heard it’s one of the most painful…”

“The most painful, make no mistake.  I’d rather … argh… take a bullet.”

Illya was writhing from his discomfort.  No, make that affliction.  The room offered little comfort for the struggling Russian.

“Doctor … how much… longer… ?’

There was no point trying to pretend, this was agonizing.

“Can’t you do anything?”

The weary physician merely shrugged before replying…

“There’s only one way to pass a kidney stone, Mr. Kuryakin.”
