Don't Leave Me This Way

<p>Julia Fox Garrison refused to listen to the professionals she called Dr. Jerk and Dr. Panic who--after she suffered a massive debilitating stroke at age thirty-seven--told her she'd probably die or to Nurse Doom who ignored her emergency call button. Instead she heeded the advice of kind gifted Dr. Neuro who promised her he would treat your mind as well as your body. Julia figured if she could somehow manage to get herself into a wheelchair at least she'd always find parking.
