Man är en relativt ung trebarnsmamma som till sist ber om sitt eget liv inför läkarna och säger att det känns som om jag håller på att dö, att jag håller på att svälta ihjäl. Varpå ingen hjälper en. Varpå de alla tror att man bara ljuger. Varpå de säger att man är hundra procent frisk. Varpå allt de säger att man ska göra är sådant som skulle döda en snabbare: träna och genomgå en laxering inför en koloskopi.
