...hate phoney people, and Margaret just seems to be phoney about everything. She always talks about high school and middle school and her babysitters, and how damaging her father was to her mind. On and on she goes. She says her growing-up was filled with bulimia, panic attacks, chronic fatigue and depression. I feel really bad for her, really, I mean it. I know how she feels to have things just depress you for no goddamn reason. But J.D. doesn't sound like that bad of a guy. Fights his own demons, of course, but he was never negligent...

We put ourselves under sustained and cumulative stress that can lead to physical and psychological collapse. If we drive in a state of exhaustion, we may pose a danger to others equal to that of a drunk driver. And even if none of these dramatic consequences ensues...
...insurance coverage varies enormously according to age, site of care, type of policy and other factors. Medicare, which currently covers more than 80% of people who are dying, pays for pressing medical issues but does not cover prescription drugs, and is severely limited in its coverage of nonhospice, nonacute chronic care. While hospice-care coverage is thorough, it requires that two doctors declare that the patient has six months or less to live, which discourages many doctors and patients. Even if you're covered by Medicare, consider buying Medigap policies, or private supplemental insurance, to cover what Medicare does...
