All right. Back offline to get caught up and my head on straight (having a really tough time with executive function right now) - but thanks for all the suggestions for my injured friend!
I was especially struck by how many distinctly first-world assumptions showed up in the responses (i.e., things we take for granted that don't map well to other contexts), so I'll keep that in mind for a future essay.
With any luck, I'll be caught up on recordings, postings, and mail-outs by Monday.
Cheers!
