“No job in the world is worth destroying yourself over, even if you work in a brilliant, beautiful place like the NHS. It’s OK to take a break or a breather. It’s also OK to step away altogether, if that’s the right thing to do. In a world of people telling you not to rock the boat, sometimes you have to fuck the boat. Do it with as much love and tenderness as you can manage, but grab your trunks and start swimming. Only you know what’s in your heart – whether it’s becoming a caricaturist in Leicester Square, moving to Chad or moving in with Chad. I promise you’ll sleep a lot better.”
― Adam Kay, Undoctored: The Story of a Medic Who Ran Out of Patients

“It’s hard when a good dog gets old. And when they get to the end of it…” He shook his head. “It tears your heart out.”
― Stephen King, Fairy Tale
