      The hospital gave me a packet of information and I swear I can't help but think of it as Simpsons pamphlet - "So You've Lost a Loved One!" I can even hear Troy McClure doing the voice-over

      I've gotten used to signing medical forms for my dad... he could sign them, but it was often more convenient for me to do it. But I kid you not I had to sign a HIPAA release form on his behalf AFTER he had died

      to their credit, the hospital staff were as helpful and sympathetic and respectful as possible, I don't fault them at all and I understand why it was necessary but boy oh boy did the system ever show some black humor right then

      This afternoon I went to the rehab facility dad was staying at when he died, to pick up his belongings. While there the staff asked me to sign a form confirming that last Friday they had notified me that Dad's Medicare coverage was going to end on Monday.

      Again, I don't blame them. They needed someone to sign the form. Forms must be signed. That's what forms are for. There's a system, after all, and the system needs the forms to be signed.https://twitter.com/random_eddie/status/1488641258054725638 …

      This is yet another step forward in treating people like machines. "Think how efficiently we can make people's sandwiches and fries when they speak their orders directly into our database!"

      The Chaplaincy from the hospital where Dad died just called. They asked how we were doing, and if we had any questions or if there was anything they could do for us. Which was very kind. but

      ... but I also know that, unspoken, they were trying to find out when I'm gonna have Dad moved out of their freezer. Just touching base, no rush, take all the time you need, but, you know, how's it going? the System's wheels must keep turning
