My attending is just non stop with this kind of thing. So today he was telling us how he modeled coccidiomycosis in mice...
"So we gave the mice some barbiturates to sedate them, a little 'mouse roofie,' if you will, stuck a tube in their noses, sprayed the cocci down there and pulled it out. Then the mice woke up, called the cops, and claimed they'd been violated. All in the name of science."

Without faith, without poetry, without music, medicine is pointless, for why save a life which is not special, and why dedicate so much effort to a cosmic accident? It would be worse than pointless, it would be cruel.
