Abstract

Every now and then a patient comes in to see me and starts with the statement, “I’ve got a long list for you today”, and I find myself gripping the edge of my consulting room desk just a little firmer than normal. They then unfurl, like a long scroll, their list or open a diary with two full pages of recordings on it. There is a law of the universe that states that this patient only comes in when I am already running 30 minutes late.
