You read these words 'abnormal proteins' on the form, *prions*. They say even hospital sterilisation cannot kill them properly—like a ghost in the machine. They survive the very heat and chemicals meant to purge such things. It reminds me of the late frost in our valley; it slips past all our careful preparations, the smudge pots and prayers, to blacken the tender apple blossom just the same. Some misfortunes have a stubbornness that defies every remedy.
