@RiverC well clearly you must have a reason or method in mind to build empathy in health 'care' please by all means share!
@jeffsonstein Actually I think I was typing "truth is I can't" and that's how it came out. A little serendipity for the day: good.

If I were ruler, I would make every student doctor sick or immobilized for several weeks with what their patients will be managing.

@Anti_alias_me If you needed a blood transfusion would your doctor sit and hem and haw over the PRICE?
@Geek_Manager Oh yes, let's clarify. That's of 'developed' nations - Europe, US, Scandinavia, Canada, Australia.

@jeffsonstein No but apparently I can take it. Truth is I can.

So if no love there, I'm going back to my Hematologist for another opinion. Is a platelet transfusion really more expensive than my life?

The US is NOT a 'first-world country.' 34th of 35 of the most child poverty - just ahead of Romania at 35. is.gd/xPQ3Gx

Chemo sucks. A bender, a full-body beating and my head knocked against the wall 10x would feel better than the way I do today. /whinge over

@mattmay This is more fun cuz I can do it every day. "Mama! Vivimos acerca un Zommmmmbieeeeee!"
The good news is with my mouth constantly bleeding, I can go out front, walk like a Zombie, open my mouth and tease the children.

I'm down to 15,000 platelets and they won't give me any. I missed this part of what chemo means: Poison the host and see if s/he survives.
