Poems for Recycling Lives

Beschreibung

1.Senryu for Life, 2.Poetic Thoughts of Love, Life & Loss Within are many haiku (senryu) and longer poetic forms. All express common life relationship situations, but in particular the judgement biases which affect our thoughts, feelings and decisions in matters of love and its loss. As a physician with five decades of experience, I depart here from my usual role and attempt to go where poetic content lives: beyond the peaks of exact meaning, through the valleys of essence and personal interpretation, into the realms of the spiritual; the all-accepting, non-judgmental frames of mind so few have time for. From what other aspect of consciousness can one express feelings of love, beauty, stress and loss, all of which lack explicit definition, but all of which have their serious individual implications? In any collection of thoughts like this, only a few will resonate with each person. Our search for knowledge and direction is always a similar quest. My aim is for each reader to find at least one item they regard as a gem; one that speaks to them and enables a better understanding of life and its commonest source of happiness and stress -relationships.

Dr. David H. Dighton qualified at the London Hospital Medical College in 1966 with MB and BS (London) degrees. In 1970, after a short time in NHS general practice, he became a British Heart Foundation Fellow in Cardiology at St. George's Hospital Hyde Park Corner, London, working with cardiologists Dr Aubrey Leatham and Dr Alan Harris. In 1973, he became a MRCP(UK), and later became a Lecturer (London University) in Medicine and Cardiology at Charing Cross Hospital, London. In 1980, the Vrije University Hospital in Amsterdam appointed him as Chef de Clinique (Assistant Professor). Having returned to the UK in1982, he worked both in his own private medical practice in Loughton, Essex (The Loughton Clinic, was initially established in 1973 as a medical nursing home), and at the Wellington Hospital, London. In 2000, he started a private diagnostic cardiac centre specialising in heart disease prevention and the early detection of heart and artery disease (The Cardiac Centre Loughton). He retired from practice aged 76-years, having been a medical student and doctor for 58 years. His retirement followed many conflicts with three medical regulators. He had disagreements with them about how medicine should be practised, and who is most qualified to regulate and supervise it. Observing the progressive demise of the NHS in the UK, he remains in disagreement with them; views expressed in his book, The NHS. Our Sick Sacred Cow. 2023.
