i. thoroughness & comprehension (+)

This piece is crafted so well! It has a riveting headline, a direct/targeted audience, and relies on a dark humor. The narrative of the story is a truthful play-by-play that anyone could appreciate.

ii. creativity (+)

The memes and screenshots and GIFs all add to the element of dark humor here. They also portray a frustration that is apparent in the writing, but sometimes best demonstrated by media. The intermittent italics and quotes are another effective use of this

iii. use of platform (+)

This definitely has a targeted audience, but it may be one that doesn’t use Medium; it might be best to link to this on more popular sites like Facebook, or in Facebook groups that have a significant focus on this aging health-related crisis.
