A deeply personal piece by my wife Ayesha and I about the hell insurance companies have put us through to get the life saving care our daughter needs to live.

I've written about what dying typically looks like - not as a 'pro' or 'anti' AD piece, but in the spirit of confronting a taboo.
We've lost the easy familiarity with the patterns of dying that existed when death typically occurred in people’s own homes.
Let's talk about it 🙏

On #worldaidsday I am so glad we can remember Britain’s first AIDS victim John Eaddie.
Revealing his identity and telling his story 3 years ago was the privilege of my career. For 40 years he’d been ‘patient zero’.
Thanks to @tomhayesmp.bsky.social for recounting his story in parliament this week.
