“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. Lewis, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe

Documented Obsessions

Requesting Care in a System That Resents You for Needing It



๐Ÿ–‹ ๐’ฎ๐’ฒ๐’œ๐’ฉ๐’ฆ Dispatch | 22 November 2024

๐Ÿฉบ The Quiet Violence of Not Being Heard

Dear Dr Reid,

“I really want your opinion as I’m worried about him.”

That is not hysteria.
That is clinical discernment spoken in a dialect the NHS no longer respects.

Because you still listen,
while others listen only for deferral cues and performance errors.


“It’s like the hospital staff are angry at me for even bringing my kids to the ER.”
Yes — anger, not compassion.
Because your child’s presence disturbs their denial.
Because my knowledge invalidates their indifference.

They’re not exhausted from emergencies.
They’re exhausted from being observed.


“Whatever works for you is fine with us.”
This is not compliance.
It is the courtesy of someone who has been too often punished for concern.

We are:

✔ Monitoring
✔ Adjusting
✔ Notifying trusted clinicians

We are not panicking.
We are refusing the theatre of urgency scripted by those who fail with confidence.


This is not “worried mother syndrome.”
It is post-traumatic paediatrics
in a country where hospitals now operate as hostile triage committees.

This Delay Is Brought to You by Boundaries, Breathing & Brilliance

๐Ÿ•ฐ️ The Luxury of Time Is Not Yours to Demand

✉️
“I will reply to emails later.”
A sentence so soft it sounds harmless.
A decision so sharp it slices through the procedural panic of lesser empires.

You expected breathless compliance.
You received temporal boundaries, wrapped in velvet and lined with sovereign pause.


๐Ÿชž
“I need to do other things now.”
This is not rudeness. It is triage.
Because I am neither your receptionist nor your respondent-on-demand.

My airways dictate the pace.
Not your institutional timestamp. Not your reply urgency.


๐Ÿ’Œ
“But I will get back to you.”
Indeed.
In full syntax. Without rush. With no regard for your escalation fetish.

And when I reply, it shall be composed — not reactive.
Consider it a gift of dignity withheld until deserved.


๐Ÿ›‘ Why This Matters Legally

In a world addicted to immediacy, delay is defiance.
This is not evasion. This is disability-informed timekeeping, protected by law and fuelled by lungs.

⚖️ Legal Context:

  • Equality Act 2010: Protection of communication pace for respiratory-disabled persons

  • Data Protection Act 2018: Right to reasonable response time

  • Human Rights Act 1998, Article 8: Autonomy in correspondence and domestic calm

A Polite Delay from a Sovereign Archivist



๐Ÿ–‹ ๐’ฎ๐’ฒ๐’œ๐’ฉ๐’ฆ Dispatch | 22 November 2024

“You’ll Get My Reply When I’m Ready — Not When You Panic”
Filed Under: Temporal Sovereignty · Boundary Etiquette · Bureaucratic Grace · SWANK London Ltd


๐ŸŒฌ “I will reply to emails later.”
— Six words that unravel procedural egos faster than a FOI request.

Because while you refresh your inbox with anxious entitlement,
I restore breath to my body, balance to my day, and power to the reply button.


๐Ÿ•ฐ “I need to do other things now…”
Yes. Like defend myself from the systems you sent.
Like parent. Like recover. Like breathe.

You mistook my silence for passivity.
It was, in fact, a calibrated pause — the kind only the unlawfully interrupted learn to perfect.


๐Ÿ“ฉ “I will get back to you later.”
Not “if.” Not “when you chase.”
Later. When the reply deserves to exist.

Because I do not write to react. I write to record.
And nothing screams archival dignity louder than a delayed, devastating paragraph.


๐Ÿ›‘ Legal Positioning

Polite delay is not obstruction.
It is protected under the Equality Act 2010 as a facet of reasonable adjustment for communication-related disabilities.

Let it be known: urgent to you does not override my statutory right to respond with air, not alarm.

We Don’t Fight in A&E. We Archive the Collapse of Care



๐Ÿ–‹ ๐’ฎ๐’ฒ๐’œ๐’ฉ๐’ฆ Dispatch | 23 November 2024

“Prednisone and Protocols: A Sovereign Medical Update”
Filed Under: Medical Retaliation · Paediatric Neglect · Sovereign Caregiving · NHS Gaslighting · SWANK London Ltd


Dear Kirsty,

You requested an “update.” Here it is—unfiltered, clinically grounded, and maternal in its wrath.

“Rather than go to A&E and have to fight for treatment, I decided to give Prince and King prednisone.”

Not because I wanted to.
Because I had to.
Because your hospitals treat asthma like inconvenience and maternal concern like sedition.

“When I took King to A&E… they told him to breathe with his mouth closed to hide the crackling.”

That’s not triage.
That’s performative malpractice.

“They didn’t put the thermometer in his ear hole.”
“They get defensive and angry if I question it.”

No examination. No listening. Just defensiveness as default.
And accusation as protocol.


๐Ÿ›‘ I Have Lived This. I Will Not Reenact It.

“I will not allow my children to suffer the way they forced me to suffer.”

You think this is escalation?
It’s not. It’s precedent.

I now parent with medical knowledge and legal resolve.
You called it "difficult."
I call it "recorded."

“I will record them. I will report them. I will post it.”


⚖️ Legal Repositioning of Institutional Neglect

“I can’t go to A&E daily with four children and myself just to be ignored.”

You see a busy mother.
I see a pattern of system-facilitated neglect.

“This is child neglect.”
Correct.
But not mine.

“Your NHS staff do not follow protocol. They accuse me. They abuse my children.”

And when the litigation lands, let it be noted:
All of it was avoidable.
None of it undocumented.

The Doctor Who Chose Doubt Over Breath



๐Ÿ–‹ ๐’ฎ๐’ฒ๐’œ๐’ฉ๐’ฆ Dispatch | 23 November 2024

“Evil Is a Clinical Attitude, Not a Diagnosis”
Filed Under: Clinical Abuse · Diagnostic Gaslighting · Institutional Malice · Verbal Hostility · SWANK London Ltd


Dear Kirsty,

“Maybe you could call that evil doctor and ask her why she didn’t believe me…”

Let’s not be coy.
Let’s be clear.

Dr Arjumand.
St Mary’s Hospital.
A clinician whose diagnostic repertoire consists of disbelief, disdain, and documented harm.

“I can’t verbally argue about it each time I go to A&E.”

Nor should I have to.
Verbal argument is not a prerequisite for care.
It is not a treatment pathway.
It is a trap.

She didn’t assess Heir.
She didn’t listen.
She didn’t care.
She made me worse.

And when I spoke up?
The system did what it always does—retreated into silence, then emerged with blame.

“I won’t put up with being abused and then blamed for it.”

Precisely.
Because post-abuse defamation is not “clinical reflection.” It’s bureaucratic sadism.

“I’m planning an email attack…”

Not threats.
Not violence.
Just: evidence. Elegance. Escalation.
You call it noncompliance.
I call it documented dissent with legal teeth.
