The Spoon Theory

It's strange how you convince yourself that you have a broad view of things, that you have a wide and eclectic range of friends and that you have an appreciation of every angle in healthcare. And then a new planet swims into your ken.

I was putting on some patient blogs tonight, courtesy of Benefit Scrounging Scum's blogroll and I came across this essay called 'The Spoon Theory'. I have a feeling that it is probably as popular as 'Footprints' is in the religious community, or Kipling's 'If' is in British poetry, but it's completely new to me. I felt like a very small person standing in a very big world reading it. You should read it too.
