		<description><![CDATA[I was inebriated and don't remember many details when I checked into a medical detox for alcohol.  After 2 days and receiving very little care and no counseling I decided that I needed to go to a different facility.  When I asked for a refund of my pre-paid balance of $9,500 they said that I waived my refund when I signed in. Is there an issue of "sound mind and body" that would invalidate or nullify this contract that I haven't even seen?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My elderly aunt and uncle's adult (50 years old) daughter died after a relatively short but severe illness.  She did not have medical insurance.
