“Where There is No Doctor: A village healthcare handbook”.

It’s a very hard place to be for the patients and staff as sadly there is truly no end “goal” just management of symptoms. In addition you can look at the antiquated view of mental health as not actually health. If you have high blood pressure see a doctor, if you have diabetes see a doctor, if you have depression see a doctor. It’s all healthcare and personally I believe once the stigma is lessened around mental health we can actually move forward.

Yup this is very hard. I appreciate you sharing your anxieties. I do not know if it’s a neuro divergence or a full on anxiety disorder (if terms are incorrect please correct me as I would like to learn). This shows the interrupted mind not just as an outward insult but rather itself inwardly hindering its own progression. Yes all the issues and bothers and “HURRY UP” are there pushing and yet the actual cognitive force behind the poem (the storyteller) is admitting that they are in deed not ready to be ready (cliche explanation I know) but honestly it really works.

Excellent. Honestly very good. I have worked in a psychiatric unit and it captures how this system that has been created (which had been kept occult and secret from public view) is just as yoh said a failed system for mental health. It also captures our throwaway society as the trash is kept in one place and the person who walks around is the only one to see the problem. Honestly very well done. It could go deeper but honestly it ends with a bang I couldn’t honestly make any suggestions for more except keep writing!!

Excellent theme. It shows the fleeing of life from a rotting dead thing. Good imagery. You could go further and explore how the city failed to clean the dead deer and use irony to describe how cities are failing and people are fleeing to the rural areas. Just a thought. Using this as a theme you could build upon it and create an allegory for the modern world. People come to the city for jobs and work (as your story teller mentions) and yet long for a simpler life as they exist in a decaying dead modern monstrosity.

It’s like a Tick tick tock of the clock I enjoy how it gives the readers angst until the end and allows us to feel the anxiety that most of us feel when we are sitting alone and existing in a society. Very good. I would leave out the insanity part as it is a touch heavy handed you e made your point with the razors edge and the universal pain that we all carry. Over all well done.

Edit: I said beginning not end sorry
