I have left it too late to recall what I meant to write here. I was thinking about power in many contexts.
The trip to the GP made me realise how subtle and how damaging it can be; the way he walked down the corridor to his consulting room, the manner, the way he sat, the exuded indifference, the hollowness in the voice and distance in the eye.
A recent link had made me realise what I had been saying in my last blip. I had just wanted to be seen, witnessed, heard and perhaps gently encouraged. I think some GP’s, more than some, completely forget the importance of validation.
