In this BWB Text he offers penetrating insight into the little he feels he is able to achieve as
a GP and youth worker. It is, he says, a song of redemption. Doctors are pompous. It is one of our strengths. But when I listen to a patient for any length of time I am reduced.

Glenn Colquhoun is a doctor, poet and childrens writer. Featured in the 26 September 2016 New Zealand Newsletter.
