Schumacher critical after ski accident

[orthodoc]

I have no thoughts about Schumacher, but the concept of living dangerously because the equivalent of a bus running over you may happen at any moment really doesn't make sense.

Assess the quantifiable risks connected with what you (or what you're committing your kids to do) are doing. If they're acceptable, and equally, if they're unacceptable, make your decision. But don't rely on the 'a bus may run over me tomorrow' theory. It's bullshit.

If you're making the decision for anyone but yourself, increase caution by a factor of at least ten. Preferably more. Because you're not the one who'll have to live with being quadriplegic.

Aw, Mom.


I find myself taking less risks in what I hope is the proper proportion to how much longer it takes me to heal.

What's the wait list like for sense of humor transplants? eh?
