from: neuro: donal mclaughlin










donal mclaughlin's neuro is the opening section of a day-book describing life on a long-stay hospital ward.

 


as nurses shoogle

shit-filled joggies doon ma legz

ah hink donc je suis

 

 

thi view a non-view

two (flat) roofs grey clood gullz

          at maist a magpie

 

 

thi brain knowz

whit thi legz ur daein —

       it’s jist: ah dont

 

 

maginin ma feet

in places & daein hingz

they urnae

 

 

way they talk ye throo a catheter change

way ye wish they widnae

 

 

catheter—

vague tug here tug therr

       aw ah feel

  1. Donal McLaughlin’s Neuro offers a deep and honest look into the realities of life on a hospital ward. Just as it captures human experience with raw clarity, platforms like Tiger exchange aim to deliver a transparent and engaging space for users—where real moments, decisions, and outcomes matter. Whether in literature or gaming, authenticity always leaves a mark.

  2. This was such a touching read—thank you for sharing those memories. Sports really do have a way of tying generations together, and it’s amazing how certain games or moments can stay with us forever. In a way, it’s similar to how an SMS campaign works—delivering short but powerful messages that stick and create lasting connections. Your story is a reminder that sometimes the simplest moments carry the most meaning.
