“My father despises cats. He believes them to be Democrats. He considers them to be little mean hillary clintons covered all over with feminist legfur. Cats would have abortions, if given half a chance. Cats would have abortions for fun. Consequently our own soft sinner, a soulful snowshoe named Alice, will stay shut in the bedroom upstairs, padding back and forth on cashmere paws, campaigning for equal pay, educating me about my reproductive system, and generally plotting the downfall of all men.”

“Anaesthetists – put people to sleep for surgery, usually by drugs but sometimes by conversation. Very useful when we have very sick patients as they can put in central lines (large intravenous lines through which fluids, blood and drugs can be given quickly) and take over their breathing when patients are struggling. More and more A&E doctors are learning these skills too. So, in the future, we may have to call for these doctors’ help less and less. They can therefore spend more time concentrating on their specialist subjects – sudoku and crosswords at the local independent treatment centre.”
