Omission
I looked to a doctor to make me whole, but a doctor cannot make a man whole. A doctor can only patch up what a doctor knows to patch up. In the 18th century doctors were using leeches and bloodletting. I think we've made progress, but is it so hard to believe the meds of today will be the leeches of tomorrow? All this while they said oh how courageous of you to ask for help. Help is, surprisingly, a cruel teacher. Courage and ignorance apparently resemble each other from a distance. The answer is meaningless without the right question. The wrong question is more dangerous still.
