Wednesday Rounds

None of this arrives labelled. It arrives as a handover phrase, a slide with no gap on it, a number on a screen and a colleague in a corridor. Choose your standing in the institution — because Iris Marion Young’s point is that what you owe is scaled by your power, privilege, interest and collective ability — then work one ordinary shift, five decisions long. Nothing here is scored right or wrong. Each choice tells you which concept it turned on and what happens next.
Your standing on this unit
The five questions that do most of the work
  1. Who is missing from this room, this dataset, this trial?
  2. What does this rule cost the person least able to comply with it?
  3. Whose account am I discounting, and on what evidence?
  4. Is this tool validated on people like my patient?
  5. What is the smallest structural change I have the standing to make?
