  1. An afternoon in Accident and Emergency wasn’t really brilliant today. Not me. 89 yo Father-in-law went and broke his arm after me insisting ‘ah, you’ll be fine’. Not my finest moment. All of the guilt. NHS are just bloody amazing though. Properly amazing people.

      And, the procedures in place were superb. Felt very safe despite it all. Father-in-law is back home. Sore. Tired. Frustrated. But it could’ve been way worse.

      I don’t think I’ll forget the look of the consultant’s eyes. That’s all I could see. The human behind the mask. Younger than me, but looks so tired. So utterly shattered. But he spent a few moments asking me about my Father-in-laws care at home. Not medicalised. Just... care.
