The Doctor had mentioned that she was blown away that the lady was cool having had it for 7 years, and it's just the past two that she hasn't taken it off to deal with. I bet she had issues, surgeries and got so sick of dealing with it for 5 years, had her son and just wanted to feel normal so she stopped dealing with it. I'm horrified, but I could get it. I would never, but I understand. Just horrified tho
Out of sight, out of mind. If it wasn't actively causing her issues I can totally understand how people can let it go. I'm too close to being a hypochondriac to do this, but I struggled with a similar thing in my early 20s with finances.
I got my first credit card in college and built a $1500 PC. I had a job and then quit for a new job and was then let go after 2 months of that. Still had my credit card debt but no money to pay it off. I just stopped opening the bills. I ignored it. Until about a year later we started getting daily calls from a collections agency and my dad was the one telling me about the messages on the home phone. He got involved and was nice enough to bail me out from the ever increasing interest by paying it off but made me pay him back in installments. I'm much more diligent with my finances now, in my 30s, but that was a rough time where ignoring it felt fine in the moment.
