"Would you like an order of fries with your emergency appendectomy?"

>Look, choices are necessary. What else would occupy your mind and distract it from the sensation caused by a, say, crushed limb, out-of-whack pacemaker, or being numbed out of your skull by painkillers, but the pleasure of contemplating choices, whether to do procedure A which is approved by my insurer but leaves me deep in the do[ugh!]nut hole, or procedure B which will cost me far more; should I insist on staying in the hospital until I'm OK or when they say I'm OK, and all those little things that make health so much like a burger.
