A comment in response to the Giovanna Ruberto’s story “Margaret and balls of wool”. I read Margaret’s story about her encounter with Sylvia, a terminally-ill patient whilst she was an aspiring nurse attentively and I felt some kind of acute turmoil from Giovanna Ruberto’s introductory words (Zoé Blog 27/03/2013) to which I felt linked by […]
The patient, and above all that a tumour has a clear path defined to be made… A letter published in La Repubblica from Dr Alexander Bovicelli has given me something to reflect upon.

The suicide of the great Monicelli it soon became difficult to imitate. We would not be so worried about our last days, I had written, if we were able to find the courage of a similar gesture that avoids a way of dying is so uncertain, so insidious, sometimes even humiliating. At that time I […]
