Its long and new enough. The hook is OK for length and its hooky. Its neutral and I see no close paraphrasing. I have added an image of the Himalayan hospital which could be the basis of an alt picture hook if its of interest, but OK with hook anyway. Merry Christmas Ktin - I've donated a QPQ as a random xmas present (pass it on?) Victuallers (talk) 15:57, 13 December 2021 (UTC)Reply
Thanks Victuallers - both for the review and the Xmas present. I must admit I have been running short of QPQs. But, this is a great gesture, I will definitely pass this forward. Cheers and Merry Christmas to you and your dear ones. Ktin (talk) 18:38, 13 December 2021 (UTC)Reply
