Seven Rabies Shots:

I had seven rabies shots in the stomach as a kid administered by Dr. Bazzi in Freetown. 

I was bit by a dog.  I had told my friend not to go up a certain driveway because the dogs bite. 

So, I went up the driveway to show him that the dogs bite and I was bit.

By the seventh appointment for the series of rabies shots, Dr. Bazzi was sick of my screaming and let go of the syringe to pick his nose, I guess.

I have a vivid recollection of the long needle in my stomach extended from the syringe wobbling back and forth with my breathing and I stopped screaming for a minute or two.
