Sir Charles Gardner Hospital: Hi Nacey! Hey! You have a sleep problem? No worries, we'll trial you on this awesome CPAP machine that'll help you breathe and shit. We need monies first, a fair whack.
Nacey: Oh, okay. I'll give it a go.
SCGH: So, did it work?
Nacey: OH WOW, this is GREAT! I feel fantastic! I feel like I've finally had some actual sleep! I have energy and shit!
SCGH: Awesome! Now give it back.
Nacey: Oh... Okay, fair enough.
SCGH: Oh, and you can't get one for free like we mentioned on the flyers and shit cause your apnoea isn't serious enough.
Nacey: ... Wait. So, cause I only stop breathing *some* of the time, instead of *ALL* the time, I can't get a CPAP machine?
SCGH: No.
Colin Barnett: FUCK YOU, I'M ON A BED OF MONIES FROM SELLING OFF EVERYTHING WHEE! I GET PERFECT SLEEP, THANK YOU!
SCGH: Anyway, the best unit for you would be this one. But it's 1500 dollars. You might be able to find one that's acceptable at 450 dollars. We'll see you in October. GOOD LUCK!
Nacey: ... *Sobs*

It's not as bad as what people in the US health care system are dealing with, I know, I mean, shit. There are people with hernias and tumours and cancers and shit and the government is like, "*snort* I don't give a shit. Fuck off this planet for all I care." It's just that I would LOVE to be able to work at something I'm good at and take care of myself. I'm tired of not being able to take care of myself.
And I really, *really* liked that machine. God damn it. I liked being able to get good sleep. I'll miss good sleep. :( I just loathe the thought of being so tired that it hurts again. :(
Nacey: Oh, okay. I'll give it a go.
