A writer I follow whose work focuses on happy singledom while being open to relationships is rapidly getting more and more angry with men in general, which feels unhelpful. The focus should be on harvesting their souls to trap in the gems of a necklace that bestows you with infinite, terrible power.

Pain is very common in hospital patients. As is delirium. As is distress associated with delirium. Pain is also commonly present in patients with delirium. So: always assess for pain in delirium, including using observation as well as directly asking the patient.

I think the first time I went to the Ingleton waterfall trail must have been in the late 60s early 70s. I would be about eleven. I remember it was a red hot day and the four and a half miles seemed an awful long way. Part way round though, there was a stall/hut selling homemade lemonade.

Women are not protected by the law. I discovered this at the age of 18 when I was doing a qualification in journalism (in a gap year before university) & was required to do some court reporting. I sat in on a couple of rape cases & a child rape. It was a real eye opener. System favours the perps.
