"Uh, could I have a sip of water?"
After lying there for days without food or water, receiving nothing but alternating IV drips of saline and glucose, Yamamoto Takeo felt parched. His pants were also wet around the crotch. If he hadn't been changed into an adult diaper, he would probably have wet the bed badly.
