benumbed
Three cops in the lobby of a small health clinic, boredom heavy in their eyes and the droop of their faces.
committed
His passion is helping people grapple with a clunky, overburdened, often unfair system. While his suggestions for health insurance don't suit my circumstances at the moment, I'm sure other people find what they need through his assistance.

depressive

glided
