I’m feeling like I want to cry, need a good cry—release, tears of joy, tears of anguish—the yin and the yang of life.

You feel, you fall, you pick yourself […] The post On Crying first appeared on Donna Cardillo, RN.

The Supreme Court's decision will impact patients receiving care through Medicare, Medicaid, and CHIP.
