Why/how he had that, I don't know, but it was sweet.

It should not be the case that we avoid help because of money. I will be voting every election day (even from Europe) for US politicians that support improvement in healthcare coverage. Preferably Medicare for All. It's the right thing. It's something like what most of Europe and much of the world offer their citizens.
My 14th birthday was in a hospital. It was the pediatric psych unit of a very good medical hospital. So the care I got there was great. They made me a chocolate cake and sang happy birthday and my family was able to come and celebrate.

I’m just trying different things before I decide to go IP. I haven’t gone in almost 6 years because I’ve always found a way to work through things. So I’m hoping the change in meds will help a ton.
