Tired All The Time since returning from Afghanistan
Running late because of a codebase error
Difficulty expressing myself in English
Difficulty understanding his English
Walking away clutching a form for some blood tests
Baseline bloods should reveal anything serious
Reading a letter from my doctor. In English.
A raised ALT and γGT – come and see me at your earliest convenience
Walking away clutching a form for more blood tests
I didn’t realise he’d lost his son
Another letter from my doctor. In English.
Have you ever used drugs? Any tattoos?
I can’t believe I’m crying
I can’t believe he’s dying
