I read that with fascinated horror. Five... a day? That... yeah. No words.
And yes. Doctors do hate fatties. Arseholes. Pretty sure they take an oath to do no harm and treat patients as people, but whatever.

This was wonderful. Five meetings a day? How can anyone tolerate it, or the mentality that thinks up something like that.

So sorry you've been going through this, both the experience and the struggle before and afterward.

I cannot fathomhow five AA meetings a day could be helpful to anyone. At some point, the words would lose their meaning.

Takes a certain sort to go through something like this and yet also be able to write of it with such humor.
I really enjoyed reading this, much in the same way as perhaps, that one of Orwell's essays "How the Poor Die." Where the things being written of are very hard to stomach, and yet absolutely also must be digested. So the humor helps in this way.
Good stuff, man.
