Hilarious and topical.

Don't forget how stressful middle age coupled with menopause can be on the mind and body. See also sleep deprivation over an extended time period (including swimmer parents, as your informative post on sleep issues mentions).

The goal of the ER staff is really not to identify and fix the problem. Their goal is to stop the crisis. This is a great service to the family. Hopefully, the staff identifies resources for the patient and family to address the problem (not just medications). Not all ERs are alike. We also know that the staff don't treat everyone the same.
