Wise words, Mark. The same is true for people living with #chronicpain. Accept it rather than continue to fight, reduce, or escape it - chasing a cause and cure.
It’s natural to seek clear answers, but true clinical growth comes from recognizing and embracing uncertainty rather than trying to escape it. The sooner you acknowledge the unknowns in practice, the quicker you can stop chasing the next tool, system, or technique that merely offers an illusion of certainty. Only then can you focus on the real work—walking alongside patients in their uncertainty and guiding them toward what truly matters.

I love this, Mark! Stop trying to fix people. Empower them, instead. I wrote a related article for clinicians:
🚨 The #1 Error I Made (And See Clinicians Making) in Pain Management 🚨 Let’s talk about the mixed messages we send to patients—and how they set us (and them) up for failure. 🧵

@loulouscorpio Sad. It is common in the US to proactively remove ash trees because of the emerald ash borer. Is there something like this in the UK for a specific tree species problem? Maybe the tree was too close to the house - creating a liability.
