Abstract:

We were expecting a new patient at the the hospice where I was doing a student placement. Clive had lived with motor neurone disease for 13 years and had come to the point where his mobility was restricted to the slow use of his arms and neck. He duly arrived on a stretcher, looking small, wizened and apprehensive.
