The Twelve Nightly Spiritually Focusing Questions 1. Was I resentful? 2. Was I selfish? 3. Was I dishonest? 4. Was I afraid? 5. Do I owe an apology? Who did I help today? 6. What have I kept secret? 7. Was I unkind? (cruel, harsh, unfeeling) 8. Was I unloving? (cold, unresponsive, indifferent) 9. What could I have done better? What am I grateful for today? 10. Was I thinking of myself most of the time? 11. Was I thinking of what I could do for others? Who needs my prayers today? 12. Was I thinking what I could pack into the stream of life? But we are careful not to drift into worry, remorse, or morbid reflection, for that would diminish our usefulness to others. After...

She is 78, lives with her husband, and suffers from COPD which is troublesome but stable. The details on the call request were "bad diarrhoea". She was, as always, apologetic when I arrived. But she looked unusually frail. Her husband said she was not drinking. She had had the diarrhoea for two days. Yesterday, Sunday, she was so bad that her son called an ambulance. I looked at the paramedic report. The box next to "Refused hospital admission" was ticked, and the form was signed by Mrs Johnson.I asked Mr & Mrs Johnson why she had refused to go to hospital. They both looked baffled. They had not refused admission. The paramedics had told her that it was the weekend, that the hospital was short staffed (true - it is al...

Sometimes the cuts may be savage; a short, back and sides. You would not tell the hairdresser to choose the cuts. You would not believe a hairdresser who said he could shorten your hair without cutting it.There are going to be cuts in public services. Of that there is not the slightest doubt. There is only one person in the country who says there will not be any cuts, and that is our discredited Prime Minister. His performance at today's PMQs was dishonest. He lied. Like the barber purporting to shorten your hair without cutting it, he fools no one. Balls is lying. Liam Bryne, the Chancellor's rotweiller, is lying. Look at this glorious double speak:"You've got to separate two kinds of spending here. You've got to separate...

The Mail on Sunday, trailed by Guido, purports to have an email scoop.Mandelson email savages Gordon Brown as angry, insecure... and unable to win the next electionMail on SundayIt is a damaging headline. It is also a thoroughly dishonest, politically motivated headline. Of course one expects nothing less from the Mail but, even for them, this is a nasty piece of work. It is not justified by Mandelson’s emails. The Mail does not print the emails in full. Instead, it presents a few excerpts and surrounds them with over-the-top partisan interpretation and spin. It is an unpleasant piece of biased, jump-on-the-band-wagon journalism. Read the article quickly. Then remove the Mail's comments and “interpret...

He conceded that a pledge made in 1999 to ensure within two years access to an NHS dentist for all regardless of where they lived had not been realised. "It has been a real problem. I entirely accept that," the Prime Minister said.sourceIt has not got any better since Gordon Brown took over. Today we learn that as many as six million British citizens have now resorted to DIY dentistry. Of those trying DIY dentistry,26% have tried to pull a tooth using pliers12% have tried tying a piece of string to a door handle.30% admitted to attempting to whiten their teeth with household cleaning products.11% admitted to included using household gl...

Researchers were welcomed to edit or change the writing, but not all researchers did. And at the end of the day, it’s not really the same thing as composing the prose yourself, is it? Sadly, Merck is claiming this is a widespread, accepted practice within the industry: A Merck legal spokesman said the company sometimes uses outside companies to draft articles that summarize research on its drugs. “That’s a common evolving practice in the industry,&#...
