that’s alright, gale, don’t worry- this whole thing must be a lot, i’m sorry you have to deal with this — but at least you aren’t alone,, you have me, and you’ve got azure and M&M’s — the real azure and M&M’s, not these imposters.

i’ve seen this place before, and i’ve seen how to get through it. you gotta find the signs, and go the opposite direction they’re facing- that’ll get you where you need to go.

But- there's so many of them. How will I know not to go the right way???

While AIA's intention to modify its MediShield Life integrated plans in an attempt to rein in healthcare costs is a positive sign ("AIA to set up panel of preferred doctors"; Dec 4), one should be concerned about what constitutes "overtreatment".

However, there are patients whose screening test for cancer returns a "probably benign" classification. Often, they request a biopsy to eliminate that small possibility.

Denying them a biopsy on the grounds that it is not recommended due to minute odds of a positive test could lead to delayed diagnosis for the patient and liability for the doctor.

Yet, performing the biopsy and getting a benign diagnosis could be construed as "overtreatment", introducing "unnecessary" costs.

Why is it that whenever I have academic stuff to write, all I want to write is Prebendverse, and then when I don't have academic stuff to write, I have no motivation to write Prebendverse?

Of course, it doesn't help that I'm rereading the Sevenwaters Series right now and that makes me want to write Prebendverse even more...
