Law is often not just. That doesn't mean it's not worth trying to fix the injustices.
As for internet articles somehow not being in a medical context, she literally talks about going to them to try to figure out if she has a life threatening condition or a fart. If that's not "medical" I don't know what is.
I’ll guess it is 99.9:0.01 or greater.
Does that seem a wise basis for which we should reform a language?
