title: Shame on us.
abstract: 'No one has ever asked me how I feel about it before,' the patient said, and I experienced not only a personal shame but corporate disgrace on behalf of the NHS. I have been listening to the stories of patients who are blind or partially sighted for an assignment, and have been left emotionally wrung out.
