Reflection: of Patients

It may be stating the bloomin' obvious, but each of us have our own unique story.  What may not be quite so obvious is, as a group, there is an uncanny sense of togetherness as we instinctively recognise our stories are indeed unique, and how we relate to one another in a way that respects these differences.  
  • Each person's narrative is accepted, simply, and with empathy or joy depending on their latest scan report, their reaction to the drugs, or simply their sense of wellbeing.
  • And conversely news is given with obvious respect for the circumstances of the other; never overblown when good news, and simply, straightforwardly when not.
Such camaraderie, engendered by the attitude of all in the clinic, is not something you find every day...
