I am sorry, it is tiredness. The words are "serious harm". Thinking of myself, who decides for me whether it is serious harm to my health? We would never say to a bloke that his health is not as important to him as his life. It is verging on sexism to say that a woman's holistic health, mental and physical, is not very important and that somebody who examines her has to decide that there is serious harm. It is not a tiny bit of harm or some harm but really serious harm. Who decides what the words "serious harm" mean? It is too fluid and open.
