The worst-sounding piece of advice I've ever been given that does actually work is to frame your health concerns as coming from someone close to you, whom you do not believe. Tell your doctor that you've been having pain and your mom/friend/partner thinks it might be an ovarian cyst, but you don't think so because the pain is much more intense and it has to be something else. This gives your doctor an unseen third party to fight instead of you. They can't just tell this third party, who isn't present, that you pulled a muscle, they now need to prove to this third party that it is not an ovarian cyst.

On this day, 12 August 2017, 32-year-old anti-racist Heather Heyer was killed and dozens injured in a white supremacist terrorist attack in Charlottesville, Virginia. Heyer was one of thousands of people protesting against a Unite the Right rally of neo-Nazis, Ku Klux Klan activists and other white nationalists and antisemites, when she was hit by a car driven at speed deliberately into the crowd by a 20-year-old Nazi, who was pictured previously on the Unite the Right protest holding a shield emblazoned with the logo of Vanguard America, a far right group. Elsewhere in the city, another group of fascists attacked and viciously beat DeAndre Harris, a young Black education worker, leaving him with spinal and other injuries. Then-president Donald Trump described some of the neo-Nazis as "very fine people". Over the next few years, over 100 other vehicular attacks took place, mostly targeted at Black Lives Matter protesters, killing several and injuring dozens. Republican lawmakers responded by attempting to introduce laws to legalise attacks, or prevent lawsuits against attackers who killed protesters with their vehicles in at least 15 states, successfully introducing them in states such as Florida, Iowa and Oklahoma.

In the PHM book, Rocky wriggles his carapace back and forth when he's very confused or embarrassed by something. Other times he simply "cocks" or "tilts" it to the side. However, at the end of the book, Grace describes him doing the carapace tilt again as "what [he's] come to realize is a smile".

Okay, as much as I love Rocky extending Grace's life without telling him, consider: Rocky *does* tell Grace, Grace just then somehow manages to like. Horrendously misinterpret what the treatment is actually for. Like.
