Health policy: well, people turn to complementary and traditional medicine because these practioners have a whole-patient outlook, and more time to spend than a symptom-focused GP. People feel listened to, that’s important.
Local Chinese medicine: my traditional expertise is a THREAT.

I was asked today whether rectangles have width or breadth. My interlocutor is mathematically minded, but I double checked: geometrically speaking they could have either.

Linguistically speaking, only things that are big, and not narrow, are broad.

Hence I offer you an advance on the Phallic Symbols Song, to the tune of If You’re Happy And You Know It:

Been to see the medical vampires! Did not faint.

Now listening back to old Productivity Alchemy episodes because apparently I gotta share the good news of @ksonney with my new boss as well as The Internet.

It’s tragic to see one so young already worried about her weight 😢

Behold a tiny beast who had me worried: funny-coloured bile, off her food, sad all day. Even sad at the vet, when she normally LOVES the vet.

She’s eaten some sensitive stomach food with laxative, and possibly farted a lot - her tummy is no longer completely distended. Now she’s had a good scamper and is enjoying very smug cuddles.

I meanwhile am adding “vet care” to the small & weird list of things that were cheaper in Switzerland 🤷 #catsofmastodon
