    "And, according to Derrida and Lacan, the idea of 'illness' is just a cultural construct meant to marginalize those who manifest alternative forms of health, thereby reifying the existing social and political order."

    Oh, you meant the concept of ER. See when I say "ER", I tend to think of a building with doctors and nurses and beds and such...

    As a CNA/HHA, it seems like I have conversations like that ALL the time with my elderly clients AND their family "caregivers". Except less lofty-sounding, just more- WTF.

    LOVE the Princess Bride reference :-)

    Never mind the conceptual stuff, stick with concrete, and go to ER when you have these symptoms...
