“I too was moved by the overwhelming love in Shuggie. I read somewhere that the author was on this podcast so listened to it. I wish the host had let Stuart talk more rather than inserting quite so much of herself snd her own opinions (although of course that is her right this being her podcast). The remark about the Lord on question time etc was uncalled for and not representative of what was actually said (it encompassed the generally accepted principle of applying QALY where resources are finite and demand for medical care are infinite). Just an example of the interviewer confirming her own simplistic political convictions on the back of a book that has so much more in it to unpack. A missed opportunity to learn and appreciate what stories and insights Stuart might have shared, if he had been allowed to speak freely rather than respond to Gordon’s lengthy but random exclamations.”
