Salad Eaten

I was thinking the other day as I was reading this piece on people who suffer from “’Truman Show’ delusion” that there ought to be a word for the anxiety one feels when reading a New Yorker medical piece as to whether or not the person who stars as the anecdotal lead will survive to the story’s end. With that in mind, I want to assure you that the woman who tells her harrowing tale here of having spent a week eating nothing but chopped salads for lunch does, in fact, make it through unscathed.
