Thought

See End Game by Shannon Brownlee at Ezra's place for a description of two doctors. One was forced to face the deaths of his patients virtually naked, equipped with only compassion, in a POW camp. The other did battle with "his Enemy: Death" in a full panoply of armor in the form of gleaming operating theatres equipped with marvelous technology and an overflowing pharmacopoeia.

Thinks I: I do not want to meet death on a battle field -- even a metaphoric one. Let it rather be wth a healer at my side.
