Today is the last day working at The Alexandra Practice. I shall not miss the ungrateful partners who forced me to move out, and are now wanting to say sorry. I shall miss the staff, all of whom have been great and sad to see me go. Of course they don't know the full story. I shall miss all of those patients I've grown middle aged with. Many have already moved to The Range, but I dare say many wont either.
Tomorrow I start at a new place. More space, more scope for expansion, younger, fresher and exciting.
The old is past, and the new begins again. I don't want anything to do with the old after today.
Last weekend I nearly died. No really I could have. I went for a walk in the Lakes with Andy up to Stickle Tarn. Then ' a bit of a scramble' up a ridge. Jake's rake or something. One side, a 200 foot drop, the other shear rock face. One slip and I was a gonna. Not a good place to feel faint or have a fit. It was scarry. Going back wasn't an option either, as it is too steep and no way past other ascending climbers. In anycase I didn't want to look down.
Sometimes in life you just have to look ahead, move on from the past, and trust in God.
Well I survived the 'bit of a cramble' and I guess I'll survive leaving the Alexandra Practice. At least I can say I've done it and look forward to the future.
About Me
- Socrates
- Four children. Four Grandchildren, two of each. Big ski accident in 2008, then vertibral artery dissection in 2009 resulting in loss of one quarter visual field, in turn loosing driving licence. On the political left and stood as an independant in the 2005 general election standing up for the NHS against Privatisation. Looks like I was right. Since then a Brexit Remainer, but now accept we need to move on, and live with the consequences. Support Black Lives Matter, disgusted at the murder of George Floyd and others. Hugely relieved that Trump is on his way out. He has brought great shame to the American people. Proud to be Woke, though I wont go on about it.
