Neko_Ali:
People keep comparing Dora and Claire's insecurities. But remember, Dora's fears about her partners cheating on her and treating her badly are completely founded in reality, since according to Sven Marten was the first person she dated who didn't do any of that. Dora was actively looking and waiting for when Marten was going to screw her over. Nobody is as good as sabotaging their life as the person themself. It's a good sign likely that she is doing a lot less of that with Tai.

Claire on the other hand has no previous dating experience. She has issues with people cheating thanks to her parents divorce. But she hasn't shown any signs of expecting it every time. The one time she did get angry about it was when she thought Tai stole Dora away. Something that was straitened out quick enough. Also she has no reason to suspect Faye is just waiting to swoop on Marten. They've lived together a long time, including times when both were single. Faye was the one who pushed Claire towards Marten and has already given her approval of the match. It would take someone a lot more paranoid about relationships to think that Faye is going to try and steal Marten away.

I think today's strip clearly shows that faye's drinking is not a problem and that her trip to the hospital was entirely due to her housemate's huge over reaction.

Wrong.

You honestly think the hospital would waste time keeping a person who wasn't in danger of dying?

I'm not even gonna get into how one strip showing positive(ish) results as a result of Faye drinking doesn't discount the sheer number of those that say otherwise. Faye knows she has a problem, and she's addicted to booze. She literally found it impossible to go more than a few days without it. That's pretty textbook drinking problem.

Radium_Coyote:
Speaking for myself: I've been in enough hospitals to understand that the hospitals are in it for the money.  Individual staffers might care about your life, or you quality of life, or quality of death... but in the end, the bottom line is the bottom line.  I've seen people that legitimately needed help turned away out of hand, and people that had deep pockets held onto like they were made of money.

This universe being what it is, playing with post-scarcity economics, I would posit that Faye wasn't turned out before she was dried out.  But very shortly thereafter.

OK, unsubstantiated controversial claims stated baldly like that are simply what is known as trolling.  Are you going to provide coherent arguments for that position, or should we encourage you to take your trolling elsewhere?

Remember that we know that Faye was still insured for the hospital visit.
