Well said. Americans have become too spoiled. They expect too much. There has been so many remarkable advances in so many fields but everyone is disappointed it isn't more. And high expectations plus demanding more do help us achieve more, I do think more people should be thankful for the work of others.ramage wrote: Pony Soldier,
One of my questions is whether her personal experience is being used a a metaphor for a larger happening in the world. In my opinion that is what she tries to convey and in that I agree with your comment. Unfortunately, the writing is sophomoric with regard to her perinatal experience. The reader is not told anything other that the child was "hurt" and it will take years for him to heal. What does that mean? Physical injury, psychologic injury, postpartum depression? In her opinion this "hurt" is the fault of the doctors treating her son.
How does this "hurt" to her son escalate into a condemnation of medicine?
New question: If medicine is broken, the implication is that at sometime medicine was whole? Can anyone tell me when medicine was whole?
