Go mug someone?
(not that that's giving up, but its "desperate" and you'd get to kick some ass)

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
It's step #3 that escapes me entirely.
Profit!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Why didn't I give up on ER when I said? This week there's a woman who's walked in with a splitting headache, who's told she looks comfortable, who says she has a high tolerance for pain, and is given a neuro exam and she's told she has trigger points in her neck and is told to take ibuprofen and there's no way I can walk away now, is there? And no matter how it turns out, I can't not take it personally.

Yeah, turns out she was having psych problems and was acting out and later attempts to kill herself. Yay?

Are you serious? So did you want to punch out the tv? I would.
I had to take a long ass break from watching shows or movies where a parent died of cancer or someone was being taken off life support, and I still can't watch anything in which short term memory loss is played for laughs.

ita, er is no good for you. Just throw er over. You'll never look back.
FNL: This week's really felt much more season 1sh and Tyra breaking up with Landry made me so sad for him. And I love hearing CT call him "Lance." Also, very glad that Matt told Julie off. And Lilah, Tim and Street in Mexico were great.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
At the end of today's ER visit I asked to go back in because I wanted to talk to the supervising doctor about my best approach to emergency care, since neither of this week's visits brought my pain down below a five. Left a rambling message with my specialist, and sent a slightly more coherent email to my primary care guy.
So, yeah, I wanted to break the TV and everyone in it. The ER is my obsession right now. Either I'm in it, planning to go in, or working out how not to.

Anyone know who did the songs in this week's Grey's? Yeah. I know. More medical shows. But this only flashed me back to a 93 surgery that was pretty untraumatic, all things considered.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
I avoid anything about someone dying of cancer. I have chosen to believe that no one dies of cancer.
People tell me I'm strong because I haven't given up. In due modesty--I just don't have the imagination to work out how to give up.
People said things like that do me when I was in chemo. It's not strength. It's not bravery. It's just putting one foot in front of the other, because what else can you do? I just keep hoping for something that can give you some relief.
