Grandma's never going to forgive us
Some miscellaneous political pundit was sitting in the corner of the hospital room. Mom and I were there with Grandma, who was crumpled on the floor much like I imagine the rehab hospital staff found her the morning of her stroke. The pundit was babbling about "See? This is why we need a patient's bill of rights! And a prescription plan for seniors!" Then I turned to Mom and said, "Grandma's never going to forgive us for burying her alive."
It was entirely to creepy to believe.
