My S’s freshman roommate was diagnosed at Christmas as having T1 diabetes, and took winter quarter off to learn how to manage it, so S had an unexpected single for that quarter. My S is responsible and level-headed and obviously would help a roommate in obvious trouble, but he’s not an expert in diabetes and it wasn’t his responsibility to look after his roommate’s condition. Not in a mean way, of course, but he’s not a caretaker.
