The Hill-Burton Act: The Government’s Best-Kept Secret
1 Comment
Years ago, two men with the last names of Hill and Burton created a bill which assists people with medical expenses, unable to pay them.
It’s only for people of limited financial means.
However, if you Google “Hill-Burton Act” or go to https://www.hrsa.gov/get-health-care/affordable/hill-burton/facilities.html you’ll find a gold mine of information about who qualifies, which facilities are obligated to provide free or reduced-cost health care and how to apply.
Dating Disasters and Epilepsy
14 Comments
When I was a teen I fell down, walked into walls, bumped into virtually everything in my path, and almost drowned in the shower.
So, you can imagine what a disaster dating was.
Of course, in my infinite wisdom, I would never tell my dates that I had epilepsy.
My parents wouldn’t even utter the word, so rather than become a pariah, I kept my mouth shut.
Bad idea…
Anger and Epilepsy: WHY ME?

Suddenly, you’re feeling edgy.
Lashing out at loved ones for no reason at all.
It’s not anybody’s fault. It’s that old familiar enemy.
Epilepsy. Again.
Why me? Why now?
It’s not fair.
