My apologies. You are correct. Solomonia said it.

I didn’t say that. One of my readers did.

Meryl, everyone knows that you are not that dumb. However, I confess that I was tempted to comment on the relative space required when you remarked on preferring cats to catheters.

We much prefer to see our patients at the mall than in the hospital. EE Smith once wrote that hospital food and service is so bad in order to encourage people to get better and get the heck out of there, and perhaps there’s some truth to that [especially having had some patients who liked being there just a little too much...]

Glad you’re feeling better.

Um. The meaning of the last line is that I hope I stay healthy enough to never go back to a hospital, Lair.

I’m not that dumb.

I’d rethink that last one.

If given a choice, I’d rather stagger into a hospital than be wheeled straight to the morgue.

Heck, I’d rather stagger into a hospital than go to Disneyland. (Unless I had a flamethrower.)
