Other than the boss's assessment, why are you a life ruiner, shrift?
I work on an abuse team. We find bad stuff and make it stop happening. It's no surprise that the people doing the bad stuff really don't like it when we do that.
Mal: We're still flying. Simon: That's not much. Mal: It's enough.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I am stuck in my usual loop of not knowing what to get my mother for Christmas.

ita, it just seems insane that practically every week the hospital ignores your doctor's orders. When an overeager intern treated my father in defiance of a DNR order, his doctor raised hell with the hospital.
How many drug-seekers do they get with doctor's orders and complicated infusion regimens who come in once a week? There is insane troll logic going on.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Oh ita. I am so sorry. I wish there were something we could do.
I am on the weekend, so I have a Pisco Sour.
Did Nora or I tell you we found a place on the Embarcadero with a $5 pisco sour special on Sunday? We should do that some time

It hurts, and I'm scared.
FUCK, ita. I wish I could go down there and raise merry hell.
Christ, you need a medical advocate. Can we hire one for you? I can hire professionals to help care for my parents--why can't we hire someone to navigate the health system for you? This should not be happening.
I would happily contribute to such an effort. I'm sure there are people out there who do this professionally, and you should not be forced to negotiate for yourself while you're in debilitating pain.
It's unconscionable of the ER doc to do this to you: she's NOT a specialist. Damnit.

a place on the Embarcadero with a $5 pisco sour special on Sunday?
Is it just north of the Ferry Building? Something La Mer, the Peruvian place with the very expensive ceviche?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Now they think I lied to my neuro to manipulate him, and I'm not even sure where that came from, but he told them they'd not treated me--I said they refused to treat me ever again. So he's mad at me because he thinks I made him look bad, and the ER is saying they will never treat me again, and I can't go to the wedding because I can't fly in this much pain or go to a party, so i just wasted 500 dollars.
i can't really see straight right now.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Oh no!
I want to do something to make it better but I have no idea what might help. I'm so sorry.

Would that I were there to introduce the ER resident to the concept of debilitating head pain, first hand.

How is this good medical practice?
