   Even with proper medical attention things can suddenly go south. One   
   of my favorite authors wrote the following:   
   "The world is a peculiar place. Tottery old ladies, people you   
   wouldn't trust to navigate a grocery cart, are heading two-ton cars in   
   your direction at speeds of seventy miles per hour.  Our lives depend   
   on strangers.  So much lacks logic or a proper sequence." - from   
   "Morgan's Passing" - Anne Tyler.
