Summary: A courteous request that two weeks of required pre-operative asthma monitoring for Kingdom be treated as operationally significant before anaesthesia is administered.

I. The Clinical Plot

Kingdom has scheduled surgery on 21 January 2026.

The hospital, in an almost touching display of medical prudence, has requested two weeks of peak flow readings in advance due to:

• Anaesthesia
• Respiratory history
• The deeply unfashionable reality that breathing matters

This requirement was not framed as decorative.

It was framed as necessary to safely proceed.

II. The Administrative Question

The correspondence therefore asked four restrained questions:

  1. Who is named responsible for ensuring daily peak flow readings are taken?

  2. How will monitoring be coordinated across placements and contact?

  3. How will the readings be transmitted for submission to the surgical team?

  4. Where is the peak flow meter currently located?

In summary:

Who has the lungs?
Who has the device?
Who has the pen?
And who is ensuring Kingdom remains operable?

III. The Avant-Garde Concept of Writing Numbers Down

Peak flow monitoring requires:

• Daily measurement
• Daily recording
• Continuity
• The mild discipline of consistency

It is not a philosophical exercise.

It is a number, written down, repeatedly.

And yet, without ownership, even numbers drift.

IV. The Risk of Administrative Improvisation

The email did not accuse.

It merely observed that without accurate two-week monitoring, surgery may be delayed or cancelled.

And nothing elevates governance like postponing clinically necessary surgery because no one could confirm who held the peak flow meter.

Continuity in this context is not cosmetic.

It is pulmonary.

V. SWANK’s Position

This is not anxiety. It is oxygen management.

• If surgery is scheduled, monitoring must precede it.
• If monitoring is required, responsibility must be named.
• If anaesthesia is planned, improvisation is inadvisable.

The correspondence did not escalate.

It simply insisted that respiration be treated as administratively relevant.

Finale

No melodrama.
No raised voices.

Only the quiet proposition that when preparing to sedate a child with respiratory history,
the most revolutionary act is basic coordination.

Because occasionally,
the difference between cancellation and surgery
is not legal argument.

It is a number written down every day.
