I came across this quote while reading an article for one of my journalism classes. Marjorie Williams, a former contributing editor for Vanity Fair wrote a story about her trials with Cancer in an article entitled, "A Matter of Life and Death."
In this particular excerpt Marjorie is mentioning how fortunate she is to have access to an appointment at one of the best cancer clinics in the nation due to her particular status in life. She died in 2005.
"These are the kinds of appointments, I was to learn, that some people wait weeks or even months for. I say that not in the spirit of boast, only as a reminder that in this way, as in most others, medicine is unfair--rationed in fundamentally irrational ways. But when your own time comes, you will pull pretty much every string available to get what you need."--Williams
