title: Centre point.
abstract: My son recently enjoyed watching an aeroplane land and being refuelled. What five-year-old wouldn't? In this case, however, the aeroplane was an intravenous cannula and the fuel was a syringeful of saline, and the encounter was an analogy drawn by a play specialist during a recent trip for my son to The John Radcliffe Hospital A&E in Oxford.
