The crime is NOT that life is so short, it's that people take so F#@*ing long to live it.

Don't know who said it first, but it sure is spot on.

I understand that Obamacare is reducing the time you can spend with patients but discourage you from handing out flashcards with these sayings as replacement for actual medical care...

That's quite a good idea. We could put little sayings like "Life sucks and then you die" or "Don't blame me, I voted for Ted Cruz" on the bag when we hand out the "ACA-formulary-approved-mud-poulitce"
