“Though the Witch knew the Deep Magic, there is a magic deeper still which she did not know. Her knowledge goes back only to the dawn of time. But if she could have looked a little further back… she would have known that when a willing victim who had committed no treachery was killed in a traitor’s stead, the Table would crack and Death itself would start working backward.” - Aslan, C.S.

Eosinophils, Lymph Nodes, and the Politics of Looking Away

The Respiratory Letter That Documented What No One Followed

📎 Document: [2024-10-15_SWANK_Jose_LondonClinic_LymphRespiratoryReview.pdf]
Letter from Dr. Ricardo José, Royal Brompton / London Clinic, confirming eosinophilic inflammation and prescribing antibiotics after steroid failure.

Filed: 15 October 2024
Ref: SWANK/RESP/JOSE-01
Author: Dr. Ricardo José
Location: Royal Brompton Hospital / London Clinic
Diagnosis Trail: Eosinophilia, persistent respiratory inflammation, steroid shortfall


I. The Clinical Truth They All Ignored

Five days of sore throat.
Fever. Night sweats. Swollen lymph nodes. Productive cough.
A recent short course of Prednisolone. A history of raised eosinophils. And still — still — the institutional refrain: "nothing to be concerned about."

Enter: Dr. Ricardo José, respiratory consultant and UCL associate professor.
He documents exactly what the system pretended not to see.


II. Symptoms, Signs, and Subtext

In this letter dated 15 October 2024, Dr. José confirms:

  • End expiratory wheeze

  • Tender cervical lymph nodes

  • Enlarged erythematous tonsils

  • Recent eosinophil count of 1.04

  • History of short-course steroids

  • Raised white blood cells and neutrophils

  • Children not symptomatic (eliminating environmental trigger claims)

This is not mild. This is textbook eosinophilic respiratory inflammation.
And yet, what was offered? Azithromycin, a pat on the head, and a polite "come back if it doesn’t go away."


III. Medical Record or Museum Label?

This letter is now archived by SWANK London Ltd. as:

  • primary record of systemic inflammation and diagnostic indifference

  • timestamped rebuttal to those who later claimed no evidence existed

  • clinical receipt for suffering that was both acknowledged and abandoned

It proves what all the others refused to consolidate:
That a pattern was visible. That eosinophilic asthma was active. That we told them.

And like so many letters from Harley Street — it documented, but never intervened.
