Nursing and nurturing
can often be used synonymously.
To nurse a baby
is first to nurture a cherished infant.

They share a nutritional history
of healthcare giving
and receiving,
delivered best and most durably
when care works coincidentally both ways
in all Win-Win bilateral directions.

Up and down and laterally across hierarchies,
networks,
dialectal frames,
nutritional and health-care intentional environments,
healthy communities,
extending families,
multicultural tribes,
polyculturing landscapes.

Nursing,
unlike surgery,
is not done as well to and for patients,
from above and without,
and is best done within nurturing gratitude for sufficient patience;
hands on bilateral therapeutic relationships.

Surgery,
like the word abortion,
is about severance,
causing Win-Lose severing effects,
cutting out our regretfully accepted
as necessary loss,
minimizing pathology
as an acceptable exception
to our Hippocratic Oath,
our Golden Rules
of economic and political health-care etiquette,
laws
and just wars against pathology orders.

If healthcare giving and receiving
becomes monopolized but supremacist surgeons,
determined not to accept risk of failure
on their competing against death and decay watch,
within their sphere of authority
and responsibility
and lifeskills,
then supreme surgeons might declare warlike strategies,
wars and fights against
our own holistic multicultural historical integrity
of identity itself, our humane egoselves,
severing us from all other interdependent species
and revolving-nurturing eras
of sacred historic nature.

Surgeons too deductively distracted
by chopping up
and shooting at
and stabbing at
and enslaving
and hating
and fear-mongering
and terrorizing our own Ego-polyculturing selves.

Surgeons medically over-invested in healthcare severance
from our own EarthNature healthcare vocations
and shared nursing identity
as restorers,
as nurturers,
as caregivers
and receivers
healing Embodied EgoCenters within
our nurturing Sacred EcoHome.

Surgery will tolerate cutting hands off
as retribution for theft and greed.

Nursing is most abundant
when hands are left and right on,
inviting appropriately grateful
and humbling therapeutic touch,
voice on,
resonantly singing in multicultural chorus,
feet on,
investing in co-redemptive restorative directions,
minds within
Earth’s bilaterally revolving Sacred Homes,
bicamerally within,
dipolar healthcare
nurturing v stabbing-in-the-competing-bad-back climates without.

Appropriate proactive therapeutic touch
avoids Win-Lose aggressions,
political isolations
and threats of violence,
social severance of the EliteSurgeons
working against NonElite Nurses,
diagnostic surgery of what MedicinalEarth has conjoined
to organically co-nurture together.
