Nora wins at lunch.
Seriously!!! even though my salad was very delicious. Not the same.
geez, paperdol. A line in the sand is often a Very Good Idea. It sounds like she needs more than you can provide right now and that there are other people (like her sister) who are able to take care of her. But, yeah, it really sounds like she needs to be in the hospital.
I'm just not willing to do more than make her some chicken broth and try to convince her sister that the girl needs to be hospitalized until the antibiotics restore her.
I think this is doing plenty. And there's no point thinking of what you'd do differently if she was someone you were closer to.
It's much more impressive that he is part of the Masaryk family-- to Czechs at least.
Relatedly, does anyone really use defenestration without being conscious of what a silly word it is? It always reads so unnaturally. It's like antidisestablishmentarianism.
There's no medical insurance. That seems to be the sticking point. But seriously, doesn't social security or medicaid cover severe disability?
When I was uninsured and badly injured I went to the ER at a university hospital. They took care of me and then took a financial statement. After I was released I got a rather shocking bill followed by a letter offering a settlement. I was able to pay a fraction of the hospital bill and paid the physicians bill in manageable installments.

It's not silly when you're talking about Prague! Prague automatically confers dignity. Try it.
The [silly thing] of Prague.
The Defenestration of Prague.
I was thinking it was Poland.

It reminds me of the Simpsons episode where Bart calls the police, and ends up having to navigate through some phone menu system to report a crime. Rather than take the time to do this, Bart enters some numbers at random. The phone system voice responds, "You have selected... regicide. If you know the name of the king or queen being killed, press one...."
Although 'defenestration' is much sillier than 'regicide.'
No, it still sounds silly, especially when it's only used to describe events taking place in a single country. Also, since no one outside the country cares about those events EXCEPT BECAUSE OF THE WORD. It's all so silly. If Masaryk had been shot you wouldn't have mentioned it. IJS.
