John Crace on his heart attack

This might not be the right area for this, but then given Crace's reflections on the state of the NHS it might.

I post this because I know several posters enjoy Crace's sketches on parliament, and also because I admire the way he describes his heart attack:

"Can such a major trauma be this banal?"

This chimes so much with when my partner had a heart attack back in 2010. The onset of pain, the slight diminishment of pain and the urge to carry on as if nothing had really happened.

Excellent article.

Fascinating article, but you'd think a Guardian columnist would know the difference between "lay" and "lie".

I came to realise that every time we recognise something human in creatures, we are also recognising something creaturely in ourselves. That is central to the rejection of human supremacism as the pernicious doctrine it is.
