As his mother waits for him to calm down, Derek Madsen, 10, collapses in tears on a sidewalk outside UC Davis Medical Center after his bone marrow extraction. Derek refused to leave the hospital with Cyndie, so a family friend, 'grandpa' Patrick Degnan, carried him to the car. Photo taken June 21, 2005.
