The wart on Mrs. Lensing’s head is a routine job for Dr. Rutger: she then removes it as pale as death.

It’s the end of my afternoon consultation hours. More than once a craft moment for me: working with my hands, in other words: better carving. Terms that do not come from the medical world, but from the vocabulary of my patients. And I can totally agree with that. The GP profession involves a lot of sitting and listening. A minor intervention is sometimes a pleasant break.
