‘All doctors get things wrong. What matters hugely to families in our position is that they have the courage and humility to admit to these mistakes. If they do, it transforms the way you feel about a clinician.’

For the hospital, and for the NHS, it was a closed case, another preventable death: medicine is imperfect, such things...

We Don't Age, from World By Design. Inspired by old friends, and the Gord Downie song "Chancellor". Grateful for this life I have. #poetry #poems #authors #WritingCommunity

We Don't Age

In the vacuum of the vampire's daylight,
we don't suffer the same change or remission.
It's just the carrying on of carrying on
whether weather betrays us or scars
enable us to evade what we're really made of.
We're not long for here. But we belong here.

When the roses no longer open in a time-lapse
flurry suggesting that's how the universe works,
we understand our plans aren't the same as
the demands of the systems we've arranged
for ourselves. Evolution never had that in mind.
We're not long for here, as long as we're belonging
somewhere

Looking at some mid-Tokugawa movable type, and absolutely chuffed to see something fun. Our printed pre-printed lined paper before printing the text, leading to some funny registration bloopers. Usually the lines and text are all a single form. Not so here
