Patient ded-ication.

Got out - for a trip to the hospital which is four villages up the bay.
Waiting for partner's mother to finish her appointment, I got a chance to photograph some human flotsam.

This guy had slipped a layer or two over his hospital gown to head out and have a puff, taking his intravenous with him.

Yes, that's a snow bank between him and the hospital.

(New law here - he has to be fifteen meters from the door in order to legally indulge his habit).
