Lori Goldstein is a woman without much choice and without much time.

The 33-year-old has been suffering from anorexia for the past 15 years. She weighs just 60 pounds and desperately needs a feeding tube before she starves to death.
The only place she can get that is a hospital. But with a terrible backlog, she hasn't been able to gain access to a badly needed bed. And time is running out.
The facilities say the earliest she can be admitted is October 20th. She worries she won't be here by then.
"I break bones a lot," the rail thin woman concedes. "I run out of energy. It is just not a very pleasant life."
When Tory MPP Flank Klees took up her cause and presented her case to the Legislature, Lori's hopes soared. He sought out Liberal Health Minister George Smitherman, who met with the family and promised to help in any way he could.
He vowed to call the next day. But the family is still waiting.
"I talked to my dad this afternoon," she noted on Friday. "He heard nothing. I heard nothing ... I'm worried that the longer it takes, the harder it will be to come back."
Lori claims she's prepared to wait another week for her admission. But after that, she's not sure if she'll still be here when her opening finally comes up.
And she can't wait on promises or guarantees - the only thing she's been given now.
