Iâm in the out-patients section yesterday with herself. Patients move to and fro, but with wheelchairs it isnât always guaranteed you move together.
So Iâm beside this old boy, a grand oulâ skin while Nanny is in front of me. I notice his hand is trembling a tad but let it pass.

Patient: I dunno, the daughter sent me in, I gets the shakes in me hand. Iâm 80, thereâs something wrong.

Patient: Iâm a Parkinson from Stradbally originally, now living in JohnstownâŚ
