Physician, Heal Thy Self

The provision of health care doesn't appear
To be healthy for those who've accepted
The task. This hospital's crawling with
Overweight grubs, creatures who seem
More like termites than humans. They're
Colorless. In here, one can't see the sun.
The air isn't fresh. Every window is
Covered, yet these are the people
Purporting to heal me. I wonder. They
Can't seem to care for themselves.

the soldier slightly surpasses the doctor in terms of dedication during battle because he will risk his life to save the lives of others? no, there were many doctors who put their life in danger during the plague and they didn't kill anybody!

Ain't that the truth! It's reality laughing you in the face, when in need of health care.
