TW mention of child sex trafficking

___

Sometimes it's hard giving a phone call, even in work.

I'm not among the kind that has difficulties giving phone calls. It's more a problem of my third child, even though she is getting better with therapy and aids. But since autism often runs in the family and my beloved have absolutely no history related to it, at least from my knowledge, I guess I should look from my side and wonder.

Mairù is the textbook ASD genius, after all.

Maybe I shouldn't dwell on that. After all, the reason that phone call is hard to begin is not because I am afraid of phoning anyone, even colleagues. But I'm tired, saddened and really, really don't wanna add to her burden, so my mind wanders to avoid pressing the call button.

Com'on, Baku, you're not doing it for fun. She has to know.

I press the red icon on my screen. It's my professional number, but I've always preferred using a smartphone rather than the hospital dect. I'll always be young at heart, it seems.

"Hello, Mrs Majak. I hope I'm not disturbing you."

On the other side of the phone, a tired voice with a heavy polish accent answers.

"No, not at all, doctor Claro. I was on break, my next patient is in half an hour. Is there something wrong ?"

"My apologies for keeping you out of your break. i'll make this quick. See, I've forwarded a patient to you, yesterday..."

"Oh, I've noticed that, yes, I've read your email. I've already planned an appointment for her tomorrow. Is there something else with her ?"

"Well, if you'd remember correctly, I mentioned in the e-mail she was coming for unhealthy bleeding, and I've judged her case would be at least stabilized if we put her on the pill and send her to a professional... I am no gynecologist, sadly..."

A pause on the other side of the phone, while the words I want to say stay stuck in my throat. "And you're one of the best midwives I know." I know Zuza Majak enough to figure out in that context, it will only add more pressure on her shoulders. Especially with what I'm about to tell her.

She didn't notice my hesitation, giving me enough time to carry on.

"... The problem is that I was too hasty, and new examination concluded to other antecedents. Which I figured I should tell you at least by phone before putting it in her file, because poor thing is currently crying in her room and my nurses can't do anything to calm her down."

"This sounds serious. What is it ?"

I sigh. Here we go, the hard part.

"That woman is a sex trafficking survivor."

I hear a gasp on the other side of the phone. I guess even ever-professionnal Zuza couldn't hold her alarm.

"I've picked up traces of abuse on her body during the exit assessment, and when I questionned her about the lesions, she burst into tears," I continue, trying to be as factual as possible. "She wanted to keep silent on the matter, but when I argued it could be an information for her treatment, she asked me I'd be the one to tell you, and keep that to the medical domain. Apparently she wants to talk about it the less she can. I can't blame her."

"I suppose... That's why you're telling me that on the phone."

"Yes. Sorry for this difficult conversation, but I had to find the best way to accomodate her wishes."

It's one of the difficult situations a doctor has to face. Choices to make, accompagnment to pick up so you can help the patient while respecting her wishes, trying to be factual while keeping her privacy. In that situation, especially, it's awful.

And I know I am sending this woman to a midwife already preoocupied by familial matters, for I have seen her son in my emergency rooms. I just couldn't think of any better person that Zuza for that.

A second of silence passes, before she sighs.

"Thank you for warning me. I'll put that in her file when I open it, and I'll try to be considerate when she comes see me. Since we're at it, how old are the lesions ?"

"Years, it's after-effects from CSA. The fact she has an active sex life now doesn't help. i've noted all the recent info in the file I've forwarded, it's the older antecedents that were an awful surprise."

"I see. Nothing else noteworthy ?"

"Not that I can think of. I'll put them in the file if needed and allowed to. I'll leave you to your break, now. May I ask how you're doing before that ?"

I can hear the silence.

"I suppose I am doing fine. Thanks for worrying, doctor."

I know damn well that's a lie.

But I am not her friend. i am not someone she trusts in her personal life. i am just the head of ER services at the hospital she works with, that forwarded her a lot of patients and feels closure only because we have the same way of thinking about the people entrusting their care to us.

So it's not my place to say anything else.

I just nod.

"I hope it will continue to be better. Take care, Mrs Majak."

"You too, doctor."

I hang up and sigh.

Sometimes the hardest part about being a doctor is not having lives in our hands.

It's seeing the people we can't help wither before us. Patients, colleagues or just people in the street with bloodshot eyes and tired expressions.

Should I change my header and icon? I feel like it has sort of become my personality at this point.

'just wanted to hug you, you look like you needed a hug!' the fuzzy creature as Gilgamesh so elegantly calls it spoke honestly it has no I'll will twords Gil or any servant or master for that matter.

fate-muse-club-house asked: Zuza hugs Gilgamesh like he would hug any of his friends. It doesn’t matter that Gilgamesh doesn’t view him as a friend because Zuza still loves him. ‘hello golden grumpy friend’

What on earth is on him? As he turned around he saw a furry face of that of a sloth! “…It’s not everyday that something can sneak on me like that.” He knew what he needed to do. He walked and kept talking to the creature. “Mmph! Mongrel, how dare you assume I am grumpy. I was just lost in thought. Now what are you and why are you here?”

LOVE your “here’s where I’m at” life update, LOVE your new blog header and icon, and LOVE your “in your head” FS fic plotline 😍❤️

Thank you so much! I had a lot of fun looking through all kinds of header images and then just had that screenshot already and I went: TEA! Yes, please! And Zuza’s icons are always so great! This one feels light and springy and I’m sort of ready to feel renewed after the last 4 years, even if there’s a lot work still to be done. 

Thank you for reading my update post! 

I’m going to get my vaccine today (from the state because my hospital botched it so badly) so I might live blog that a little bit. Crossing my fingers it won’t make me ill!

LDF17: Three Floors of Design and Innovation at the London Design Fair

The London Design Fair (encompassing a number of country pavilions, Tent London and Super Brands London, but not be confused with the London Design Festival, which is the London-wide event) was back at East London’s Truman Brewery for another year, this time filling the three floors and feeling like a much more cohesive offering. The exhibitors were of the usual high standard and included the likes of Katie Gillies Surface Design (above) showcasing her bespoke surfaces, all handmade in the UK.

Kana London was founded by fine artist Ana Kerin, who turned her hand to pottery after a background in sculpture. The resulting ceramics are handmade, functional, tactile and very much bear the ‘mark of the maker.’

Kana London was part of the British Craft Pavilion, curated by quarterly print magazine Hole & Corner, as was East London based Forest + Found. Established by Royal College of Art graduates Max Bainbridge and Abigail Booth, the collaboration involves working with wood, natural pigments and textiles, to produce sculptural and wall-based works.

Jesmonite – a combination of natural raw materials with a blend of water-based pure acrylic polymers – was the London Design Fair’s ‘material of the year.’ “We thought long and hard, and finally, our ignorance yielded our decision,” said the team. “Over the last twelve months, we have most often been surprised to find that Jesmonite has been the medium for some of the most vivid color displays and fine detail in the products we have been most intrigued by.” These Jesmonite sculptures are by Zuza Mengham and appeared alongside work by Arin Prin.

Floor Story, known for their bold and colorful rugs that take center stage in any interior, collaborated with Zandra Rhodes to create this vision in pink (above left), one of three designs for the Floor Story, inspired by images taken from her 1960s archive.

The United States was one of the country pavilions represented at the London Design Fair, this year curated by Sight Unseen and entitled Assembly. This rug in two parts is by New York-based multidisciplinary design studio Studio Proba, founded in 2013 by Alex Proba.

Another favorite from Assembly was this mesmerizing mobile by Seattle and Brooklyn-based Ladies & Gentlemen Studio. “Our aesthetic and design philosophy is about complementary opposites with an unexpected balance of warm minimalism, playful austerity, and simple sophistication,” say founders Dylan Davis and Jean Lee.

Elsewhere in the show, James Stickley’s Skip-inspired sideboard provided both humor and a pop of color. With a background in art direction and set design for television, James describes his style as “graphic minimal.”

Mijo Studio is a Danish-Norwegian design duo specializing in prints, patterns and textiles. “Experimenting with colors and textures, our work is always based in analogue techniques and is characterized by a curious and playful approach to the creative process,” say co-founders Miranda Tengs Brun and Josefine Gilbert. We love the very on-trend PostModern vibe that results from that approach.

And finally, these stacking stools are a collaboration between iconic British furniture manufacturer Ercol and SolidWool – a venture from the South West of the country to revive the wool industry by making a new composite material from wool and bio-resin.

I love your icon 🥰😍

Awww!!! Thanks so much, Zuza!!! 

Yeah my overly pink, very Valentine-y icon had to be replaced coz Valentine’s Day has passed and since I had my header replaced a few weeks back (that deleted scene kiss makes me  🥰 🥰 🥰) and has a brown-ish color palette, I thought I’d make my icon kinda chocolate-y and then use one of the 3x08 bts pics. That kiss wasn’t my fave, but there’s something about the framing of that picture that makes  😍 😍 😍 lol
