All Hail Minifig.  For he knows the proper way to pay homage to one as wonderous as myself.

He has rendered me in LEGO.

Although good, it is not perfect – why would I be smiling at a drunk in the street?

Superb – and thanks for all the people who emailed me about this.  You can find much more of his work at his Flickr page.

It seems that the ‘tagging’ of ambulances isn’t just confined to us in the UK.  Dave (a paramedic from Auckland) sent me this picture of his ambulance after he spent ten minutes inside a patient’s house.

You may notice what a fine example of ‘urban art’ this is…

Imagine that you are 23 years old.

You are also a ‘brittle’ asthmatic.  This means that you can have asthma attacks that can rapidly progress to life-threatening status.  You have been intubated in ITU a couple of times – this is a last ditch treatment to keep you alive.

So why, whenever you get taken to hospital, would you treat your disease as a mere annoyance?

Also – why would you smoke 20–40 cigarettes a day, knowing that it will make your asthma worse?

And why would you self-discharge yourself from the resuscitation room against medical advice only to require a blue-light return straight back to the resuscitation room?

It’s just a form of slow suicide…
