@johnzajac (genuine question: "oh god it's bad I cannot take this anymore" pain + "I refuse to visit nearest ER / A&E because I would literally rather die at home than beg non-care from them again."
... I guess there really isn't a good answer beyond "bully councils and governments to fund real healthcare, train laypeople to learn what doctors ACTUALLY do, and decide what I consider livable.")
Remind me to make a song to go with: "I need rest, you need rest; go drink water and take your meds"
In my head, I'm singing it to the tune of "I hate you, you hate me. Let's get together and kill Barney, with guns and bombs [next sounds like 'tambourine']. [Something something] stab-oree."
