The completion of these four visits, the morning exchanges, was only the beginning of the day. I was not free to go home, but free to drive to the branch surgery and face the morning exchanges. Who knows what elements I would be encountering there. At least I could look forward to the end of the day. Tonight was the eve of St Andrew's, and the St Andrew's Society of Scotland would be having their annual dinner. There a few hundred Scots and Australians of Scottish background would be gathering to continue the tradition of celebrating their Scottish background while far from home. A noisy, flowing evening would be had by all.

Variations on a theme.

Three stories--death, disaster, demineralisation--a typical mixture in our daily lives. In the musical world, theme and variation require the musician to choose a piece of music and write in and around it. Thus, for example, the well known Rachmaninov's Variations on a theme by Paganini. In the general practice would our themes start with an incident or happening--its the patients that bring about the variations. What interesting variations we see.
