Iatrogenic damage is a medical term used when the intervention of a doctor to cure a pathology has instead produced a damage.
For a long time the motto of doctors is “primum non nocere”: first of all, do not harm. It means that every time you are going to intervene in the profession you must first think if your intervention will create a bigger problem than the original pathology. This obviously does not refer to the side effects of drugs or scars from surgery that are unfortunately included in the treatment of many diseases, but to different events.

January always seems endless. It seems to last much longer than its 31 days. In ancient times, on 25 and 26 January, the festival called sementivae, the end of sowing, was celebrated. The end of hard work outside, in the cold, at the deepest point of winter. Then we had to wait. Stand still, hoping that the previous harvest would last until the end of winter.

“Do you know why the moon looks different tonight? Because it has an elliptical orbit and tonight it is closer. It seems bigger. It’s beautiful, right?” They are on a small terrace of a man between strawberries and chillies with the moon as abat jour.

Say you come across one of those social situations that you can’t escape, one of those situations where you have to be content, you have to congratulate, you have the feeling that everyone wears a mask.

Walking in the mountains is a special world. I’ve been doing it since I was a kid. It’s one of those things that you learn early on and then it comes naturally to you, you carry it in your whole life.

The peculiarity is not in the landscape, in the effort or in the satisfaction of getting to the top. I think the most important thing is that you can’t do anything but walk at your own pace.

When I was a kid, I had a short story book where the main character at the end of each story said, “Sometimes what you don’t expect happens”

It came back to me the other day.

I was walking around in the rain with a man and without thinking I told him what I was feeling at the time even though it was not easy and it was not pleasant. But it was true.
