“Doctors no longer minister to a distinctive person but concern themselves with fragmented, malfunctioning” body parts... “doctors of conscience” have to “resist the industrialization of their profession.”

"Rabbit's clever," said Pooh thoughtfully. "Yes," said Piglet, "Rabbit's clever." "And he has Brain." "Yes," said Piglet, "Rabbit has Brain." There was a long silence. "I suppose," said Pooh, "that that's why he never understands anything." ~A.A.Milne #FridayFeeling

"The majority of challenging behaviour is from those who don't understand dementia,
the result is a distressed response from those living
with it ! "

[Pam Ayres MBE @PamAyres]

I went down to Salisbury
To listen to the choir,
A pair of Russian tourists
They were staring up the spire,
Staring up the spire, they were,
Silent and aghast,
Against the sky, hurtling by,
A piggy flying past.

"Im OK"

Life is meant to be lived to the fullest, not just OK

"No offense kid, but I just worked a horrendous 12 hr ER shift. I came to Starbucks for the coffee, not a friggin 17 year old life coach"
