Excerpt:

Lanoise, a single mother of six, was born in Haiti, and her main goal is just to walk again. “You are going to die in this bed; this bed is your coffin,” said Dr. Oscar Hernandez, Lanoise’s doctor, who makes a house call in Wednesday’s episode. Lanoise is dependent on appetite-suppressing powder, which she sprinkles on Haitian food, despite doctor’s orders to eat healthier. At one point, Lanoise was close to her target weight – but the lure of Haitian food that she enjoys so much was too tempting. “I don’t want to lie, I cheat,” she said. “But sometimes I feel so hungry. ” Hernandez said Lanoise was banking on the weight-loss powder to work, but she needs to realize that’s not going to be a permanent solution. “I do need to have a conference with her daughters, make sure they support what we’re doing,” Hernandez said.

Key:

  • Aggregate Sentiment is meant to be an indicator of an individual's overall sentiment.
  • The Mean is meant to be an indicator of an individual's average comment sentiment.
  • The Standard Deviation, when there are enough quotes, will indicate an individual's consistency of sentiment (i.e. a Standard Deviation of 0 would mean they were very consistent in their sentiment and 1 would mean they were very inconsistent).

Note that quote stats are likely to be meaningless beyond the aggregate score due to the tiny sample size. However, they are always provided just in case you find something useful there.
