Loki:
No idea if it has been mentioned before, but the second panel not being blurry and Faye not reaching for her glasses is rather unrealistic, as clearly Faye has exactly the same awful eyesight as I do because my experiences apply to everyone.
Is it cold in here?:

[slow clap] Well done, sir.
I'm nearsighted (can't see far), but my vision is passable so long as what I'm looking at's not too far from my face. Martin's also presumably right at her bedside - it's not like he's saying hi from across the room.
Dark Matter:
Hey everyone, been lurking for a few weeks now, but this latest arc finally inspired me to post something.
This latest comic in particular has me wondering a couple of things. The fact that Hannelore is right at the edge of the panel makes me wonder whether anyone else is there as well. If not in the room, I wouldn't be surprised if others are waiting outside.
I'm also wondering whether or not it's a good thing that Faye can't remember much. On the one hand, that seems like a traumatic experience that no one would really want to remember. On the other hand, remembering that experience might be the motivation Faye needs to realize that she has a problem. Maybe someone who is more knowledgeable about alcoholism and other related issues could shed some light on that.
Jedit:

I think the thing I qualified for was called LIAA, or something like that, low income something something. Anyway, I paid 0 dollars for my emergency room visits back then, and have never been contacted by a debt collector/have no debt on my record. And this is not for life threatening things either, this was for things like getting stitches, etc, so not just "stabilizing" care. I think if you got admitted it was a bit different though.
Hilariously, I pay more for them now that I'm paying enormous health insurance premiums every month... I would say the biggest health care burden isn't on the poor, but on the lower middle class.

Anyone shaking their fist at "the guy complaining that he has it worse than the poor" needs to watch Michael Moore's movie Sicko. Insurance companies are like any other bookmaker, they don't want to pay out. So, they find any possible reason they can to have necessary - even lifesaving - treatment deemed non-essential so they won't have to pay it. A lot of policies have such a high co-pay that they're more expensive than not being insured.
