Well, for the most part, there’s this weird pressure to pull it all together the second the week ends. Like, alright, time to fix everything, deep clean the kitchen, plan Pinterest-level meals, and be a fully functioning person again by Monday. Except… who has the energy for that?

    05/07 /No Comments

    Everything in life carries risk, and even in settings where it seems all is done to mitigate that risk, there are still slip-ups and mistakes when human error is introduced.    When someone visits a doctor for medical advice or a surgical procedure, they place their trust in the professional to diagnose them properly or perform the surgery with expert precision, but unfortunately, this isn’t always the case.   Being a victim of medical malpractice can be an extremely stressful experience; it’ll feel like there’s a huge amount to sort out to get yourself back on your feet as you navigate an array of physical, psychological, or practical matters.   …

    05/06 /No Comments

    The majority of people go through their lives assuming that they’ll never really need to hire a lawyer.
