Saturday, August 16th. William Shakespeare's Thought For The Day remembers Robin Williams.



"...No, no, no life!
Why should a dog, a horse, a rat have life,
And thou no breath at all?"

King Lear, Act V, Scene 3, Lines 306-308.

Cautiously optimistic - I may not be losing the homeless clinic after all!



The manager of the facility that operates the homeless clinic (for which I provide medical care under contract) got sacked! He was the only person standing in the way of a contract renewal with our health organization. Now that he's gone, the contract will probably be re-signed and I can stay here with my patients.

This is great news!

Thank you to all of the Loungers who stepped in with comfort and encouragement when all seemed lost.

I love you all...

Finally: a Monday that doesn't make me want to try to tunnel out of the clinic.

And make a break for it like Steve McQueen in The Great Escape.

So far, it's been a pretty good day.

I'm so sick and tired of insurance companies requiring prior authorization for medication refills.



My authorization is: BECAUSE I SAID SO!...

Just do the insurance stuff, and let me do the medical stuff, thank you very much!...

I've hit a rough patch at work.

I don't need vibes or anything. But if you're a friend, please chime in and say 'hi'.

Thank you...



I love you all...

About Aristus

I truly believe that we will all live in peace and brotherhood someday. And so that I don't lose my faith in humanity, I will live my life as if that day had already happened.
