Vegetarian-ish, garlic eating, natural-remedy-using nonsmokers

quirtep Mar 29, 2013 2 Comments

From the book Wild by Cheryl Strayed:

Duluth was a freezing hick town where doctors who didn’t know what the hell they were talking about told forty-five-year old vegetarian-ish, garlic eating, natural-remedy-using nonsmokers that they had late stage lung cancer, that’s what.
