Trae Tha Truth recounts the after-effects and the hours spent in the hospital after being shot this summer.

After leaving a strip club on June 20, Trae Tha Truth was shot and luckily survived after being rushed to the hospital, though he wasn't met with the best reception at the hospital.

"The lady left me bleedin' like two hours in the bed by myself, like nobody else came in there," said Trae in an interview with MTV's RapFix Live.

He went on to describe how the hospital staff were concerned about the supporters who congregated outside the hospital. Trae revealed that during the hospitalization, he didn't realize the severity of the incident - which left three people dead and another paralyzed. 

"I didn't find any of this out until Homicide came to come and take me away," Trae said. "The way I came in to the hospital with a hole in my back was the same way I left. I didn't get no bandage, I ain't get no stitches, they didn't take the bullet out, none of that."
