In an isolated cave in the Dunes National Lakeshore, they tell their stories of health care.  They arrive by boat, alone. They leave alone, by boat.   In the cave they find a single microphone, and in the silence of the cave they tell their stories.

Their names withheld, their voices disguised, we will never know who they are.  We will never know where they came from, where they went, where they are going, or even where they might want to go.

Like deep undercover operatives on a TV expose, they are the shadowy figures of Vocalo.org HEALTH CARE UNDERCOVER!!!

Warning, mature content here. This piece is about “the Clap,” which, if you didn’t already know, is slang for a sexually transmitted infection…usually Chlamydia or Gonorrhea. You should also know that when men get tested for the clap, doctors stick a cotton swab up the man’s penis.
