They always need feedback - and a chance to feel useful.

Do they know what they are letting themselves in for?

Research! All for it! But so often ask their own self serving agenda questions! Does it really get to the front line experience! (Been there with the chemo appointment cock ups!) No simple solution but communication should be a lot better! I'll say no more!

I know it doesn’t give you the option you really need which probably can’t be collated.

I would find it very stressful extra appointments and travel and as you say, communication cockups. Nice to be helpful but think of yourself too.

I'ii hire you as my spokesperson scats! I & others expressed our frustration at the time but it made little difference. Grateful though we were for the treatment!

It’s a chance to do our bit I guess. I thought your picture was snakes for a minute. I think I need to rest the old eyes.

It's Arum LIly Jane.(Lords & Ladies). Posted a pic of the red seed berries a while back.

Nope! Can't see any snakes myself.

Yes a chance to put something back.
