I think of it as The Fool's Journey. I've been asked who the "fool" is. It's me, but in the classical sense of the court jester. Only the fool was allowed to tell the king of his follies.

As Ben Franklin said in Poor Richard's Almanac, "God cures, and the doctor takes the fees." If old Ben had been alive today he might have added, "and the insurance and pharmaceutical companies get rich. For the same thing a hospital stay costs you could take a suite at the Hilton, hire your own round-the-clock care and it would still come out to less. Problem is, your insurance wouldn't cover it.

Same here... ridiculous isn't it? I heard on the radio news today that Paris has been released from prison after just 3 days for health reasons... now under home arrest. I'll bet that's a whole lot more comfortable! LOL
