Tracheostoma

The thought that I'm just a number with my health insurance company gives me no peace of mind. But how else should I interpret this letter?

I am not an expert. I'm not a doctor either. But I can read. In this case, a 179-page document from the German Society for Pneumology and Respiratory Medicine.

Too much for me today. I dim the light, close my eyes and try to at least get a grip on my breathing, despite the sacrilegious pain.
