People Provide
A doctor explains to a family member with a debilitating disease the reality of the medical field.
Code is everywhere. “What can we do?!” She asked, her voice slightly shaking but distinct and sincere. “All of these PhDs and MDs and we still don’t have a cure for all these ailments?”
Doctor Vasquez folded her arms and sighed. She looked down at the tile floor of the hospital.
“We’re trying to get the most out of the donations people provide, but with the government in the way, it’s not like our hands are tied. It’s like we don’t have hands.”
Dallison Daltry looked at the light above. Until the glare became too much and she looked away.

Breath issued from Angelica’s mouth. The weight of the baby put her into her chair. Her curves managed to say she had not been with child the whole time. There seemed to be a fantastic ideal swimming somewhere in her mind about the hazards of caring for two. She grabbed a magazine and fanned herself, knowing that she expended more energy in that effort sitting still and letting the air conditioning do the job. No, she told herself, without struggle there is no triumph. She switched on the television set. The picture looked as people had been replaced by blue aliens and she just watched her soap opera, void of extraterrestrials for this time.

One Hard Thing
Stop me if you’ve heard this one before: You have the number, you know your schedule- you’ve even picked out the perfect day and time to make this appointment. Shoot, you’ve even picked out alternative days and times just in case their schedules can’t accommodate you!
