Is ART on the UNDERGROUND losing its inspirations?

EDT
EDT stands for Emergency Duty Team
what is also called Out of Hours social work.
Yes, I was working today under the glorious sun.
However, I could not complain as it was extremely quiet.
I only had two calls, but the first one happen to be
a death of a 85 year old man in a nursing home.
It was interesting how unattached I was to this news
and I was able to close down the man's information on
the data base system with much less emotions compared my own cases.
As I often thought it was a bit cold to tick the deceased box
the moment you were notified of one's death.
May he rest in peace.......
This is where the office is based....
I don't like the idea of working in a hospital building, it's too clinical.
I am fine to go once or twice a month but not permanently.

MND Community Link Meeting
My first day back to work after a week off.
I did not get to do much of my own work as I was on duty half day
and MND community link meeting the afternoon.
The meeting is held every three months at King's College Hospital
which is a MDT (Multi-Disciplinary Team).
I started attending as I have two active MND* cases.
It is helpful for the team as there are MND patients known to
hospital but not yet known to my team. They may be referred to my
team in future if they deteriorate further.
We had an informative session before case discussions about
21st International Symposium and Allied Professionals' Forum that was held in US.
One of the consultant who attended and fed back some of the highlights
and the current scientific and clinical issues.
