Melanoma

I've come dangerously close to skin cancer. Thanks to my generous former employer and the affordable Indian healthcare system, I've been able to keep tabs on what's manifesting itself on my skin. It's a swift, silent killer (as so many things are), so detection early and often is good.

Check this Guardian article out.

Existential debate:
We all want to live a long healthy life, even if we can't articulate it - but if we're going to die anyway eventually, why spend thousands on heath care to keep us alive? What's the point? What's our human responsibility to advocate for our own lives?
