the medical establishment and a cat

Today I found an article via Fark about anger resulting from the diagnosis of a chronic illness, which brings us to the quote of the day:

Gary McClain, president of JustGotDiagnosed.com, said that chronic illness can leave patients feeling that their life is spinning out of their control as the medical establishment seems to take over.

I read that quote to my husband, who responded, "If we had let them take over, we'd be in deep [doodoo]." Not that that left us feeling any less cranky while they failed to help us.

Hopefully we're done developing chronic illnesses and won't have to think about that anymore, so here's a video of a cat riding a Roomba.
