Re: rough time
@outlander Facing up to disability is tricky. I have respect for some who can do it with humour and penash, but there is always the REAL suffering behind it all.
Thanks @Sans911 I have my own version of white coat anxiety.

Re: rough time
Even after 20 odd years as a nurse, there's still lots of things that make me say 'huh' and also wtf!
Morbid means an unhealthy interest in unpleasant things, particularly death.
But probably in your context it is also the affliction of disease. They have a morbid condition,which at some point will result in death.
Dr's or health professionals will often talk more about mortality and morbidity. So mortality is the state of an unhealthy or diseased individual, while mortality is the state of death (or being mortal).
I'm not sure but I suspect you've heard the term morbidly obese? So these people are so obese they risk an increase in disease and premature death.
Pathological essentially means the study of disease. But it can also mean a person who's unable to control their behaviour. Like someone who's a pathological liar.
Hope these are helpful
