I think of all the blogs Irish Medical Times journalists have written since the launch of Viscera, this would be the one most tenuously linked to health.
However, I firmly believe that this blog could be construed as some sort of psycho-analytical profiling exercise. I came across an article that described the demise of Xiang Xiang, the world’s first artificially bred panda.
Apparently this noble creature, bred with the intent to help save its species from disappearing off the face of the planet, was intensively trained and educated by its handlers before being released into the wild. It then promptly fell to its death from a great height.
Don’t you think some animals are just doomed to extinction?
Now, the tenuous link to healthcare – and psycho-analysis – is this: I believe the world is divided into two groups of people: those that find this panda mishap enormously funny are in one group and the other is made up of those who are deeply upset at the loss of a precious – albeit quite stupid – creature.
Which camp are you in?
