Pause For Thought
From comedian & writer Paul Kerensa:
Delighted to be here for my pausing debut with you 鈥� long time listener, first time pauser. Mum鈥檚 listening in at home, and my dad鈥檚 listening... in hospital. If you鈥檙e wondering what he鈥檚 in for: about a day and a half.
It struck me that almost every news story links back to hospital. The after-effects in Gaza, the terrifying Ebola spread, First World War remembrances. When the journalists leave these stories, doctors and nurses stay with them.
I鈥檝e been in and out of hospitals my entire life. I was born with this rare condition, bladder exstrophy, meaning I was born with inside bits outside. After my last op, I had morphine, with this little button they give you so you can top it up yourself. Trouble is, they never tell you it adds morphine. I honestly thought I was calling the nurse. Clicking away, thinking, 鈥淪he鈥檚 ignoring me. I鈥檓 in pain! Actually not so bad any more. Just a cup of tea when you鈥檙e ready, for me and my unicorn friend here...鈥�, because you start to see things. Holding this button, I was convinced I was a weather presenter clicking onto the next map. Fellow in the next bed had one as well 鈥� we played Scalextric for ages on a track that wasn鈥檛 even there.
On every ward I鈥檝e stayed on, there are patients visited 鈥� with a bunch of grapes, balloons or relatives 鈥� and those not visited. My belief is that God鈥檚 with every patient, and he鈥檚 not bound by visiting hours, though he may need us to let him in. I said marriage vows a few years back, and I like to think that God made those vows first, to us. He has us and holds us, in sickness, as well as health, if we鈥檙e richer or poorer. Not till death do us part 鈥� but I think beyond it. He鈥檒l stand by us, whether or not we stand by him.
So all those in hospital beds: you鈥檙e in someone鈥檚 caring hands 鈥� whether you think they belong to a loving creator, or those amazing unsung medics working in warzones, or up against the strongest of viral strains, or looking after my dad in Guildford. You鈥檙e in good hands, while in your hands, you might have got that clicky thing making you think you鈥檙e a weather presenter.
