“Does she take sugar?” Ah yes. Vivid flashbacks to my mum’s time in hospital, trying my best to direct nurse and doctor questions to her. “Hello, I’m here! Hello,” Mum would repeat until they made eye contact with her. Thanks for sharing your story, Wendy. A very important one. We are indeed all vulnerable

Echo Rob re Mum experience and Dad and self during medical appointments and treatment. As a previous Health and Social Care trainer/assessor - I cannot understand why so many people in these roles (including nurses/docs etc) have a lack of empathy - and appear to have little awareness that accidents, aging, conditions etc can/will happen to them. Do unto others...
