Why I do what I do: met a former palliative care nurse & was describing how devout Muslims can hold up a single finger to represent the Shahadah if they're unable to speak. She'd never heard of this.
"I wonder how many times nurses see this, think someone is agitated, and drug them."
So proud to have been involved in The Victoria & Stuart Project! @victstuproject.bsky.social
