In 1896, the journal of the american medical association published a cautionary article by dr. william c. krauss of buffalo, new york, that reported the curious case of a 37-year-old man with "acute dilation of the heart." it seems the patient, james h. c., regularly cycled the half mile to and from his job on the railroad, but on one occasion, he took a four-mile, 25-minute ride with his friends that left him severely distressed. at the end of it, his heart was pounding, he had a severe pain on the left side of his chest, and he was completely out of breath. james heeded his friends' advice and rode home immediately, covering the distance a bit more slowly. but his symptoms worsened overnight, and his heart was still racing at 130 beats per minute when krauss saw him two months later. the doctor's diagnosis was short and to the point: "over-bicycling."

Ineed advice. i have a lot of friends at school but recently my best friend for some reason didn’t like our friend group. she wanted to switch to a new table during lunch. she said she found a new table where we would be welcomed if i wanted to come. i agreed because i knew i would continue to talk to them outside of lunch. after a month or two, my best friend got mad at our new lunch table group. so she left for a day or two, but i stayed because i actually kinda liked it there, even if it was kinda crazy. then she came back to the table. eventually i started to miss my old friends at my old lunch table. so i went over there for one lunch. then after lunch i sat at my new lunch spot before the bell rang. they all called me a traitor. so now i sit with my old lunch group, which is fine because i missed them, but i also miss my new, now old, lunch table. what should i do? p.s. sorry if you loose your last brain cells trying to understand this.
