Nota bene
Recently I read a very moving, powerful, and at times, fearful, distressing, but also hopeful article, written by a senior surgeon and academician in the US, speaking out about the rise in mental illness and suicides amongst physicians and surgeons in the US, by highlighting her own story and journey. More on this later.
For now, suffice to say, what I read resonated with me. I felt a sense of kinship and indigeneity with the story and the storyteller.

Dear prime minister Rishi Sunak, can you hear the cries of Mother Nature? Can you bring down yourself to our level and feel our suffering, pain and anguish, triggered by climate change? Air pollution, floods, droughts, fires, toxic smokes…are killing us daily and destroying our communities. Why are you not responding? Why are you watering down your legal, moral and spiritual commitments to heal and nurture our common home, our common humanity, our Mother Earth and build a better world for everyone?
