Mortality as Metaphor
A doctor reflects on the everyday in the public healthcare system, a monument of systemic inequity in which patients are turned into statistics out of context.
They say every blow that life deals you is a lesson in strength. There is not a soul on this earth who has never wondered why some receive extra lessons at no charge.
— Susan Sontag, Illness as Metaphor (1978)
