   Reason: Because you're human!

   Me: I wish I weren't.

   Reason: Because most people are good?

   Me: That has yet to be confidently demonstrated. Depends on your criteria and people's criteria are usually highly selective.

   Reason: Because not liking humanity makes you antisocial and a bad person!

   Me: Humanity seems pretty bad to me. So, that's an untrustworthy assessment by a questionable source.

   Reason: People won't like you.

   Me: I don't care.

   I had a phone consult today for my own (much delayed) scheduled surgery.

   Me: How long do I have to wait after the surgery to travel in a family emergency?

   Surgeon: How long is the flight?

   Me: Ten hours.

   Surgeon, perturbed: At least four weeks. But be aware that if you have a problem, your insurance won't cover you.

   Me: I'd be going to Texas, so I'd have to come back here anyway. Insurance coverage would not get me care.

   Surgeon: Well, even if you just have an infection.

   Between, you, me and the while of the fediverse, I really don't think insurance is the major obstacle with "just an infection". I doubt I could get help from a GP at all.

   The surgeon said I could reschedule, but, I mean, this whole thing could go on for months or years. Or it might end tomorrow. No doctor will give a prognosis. The head nurse at the care room says people declining at dad's rate tend to live about a year.

   And when I say this surgery is "much delayed", I mean that it was supposed to happen in 2013. I hope I'm the spiders Georg of being messed around, but I suspect I'm not.
