the healthcare cycle

 1. Develop symptom that seems somewhat concerning or at least unusual.

2. Ignore it for a while because you live in America where healthcare is considered a luxury item.

3. Symptoms get worse/remain consistent.

4. Break down and make an appointment with the doctor, whose closest availability is a month from now.

5. One week before appointment, symptoms suddenly cease entirely.

6. Contend with whether or not you want to still see the doctor, or cancel the appointment and accept that you're probably gonna be told "it's all in your head" or "idk man" anyways.

Repeat from step 1 as necessary or until death.
