They look like human beings but this is just a disguise. In real life they have already earned their space in heaven, near the front of the line.

How DOES one become the kind of human who is both compassionate AND knowledgeable, efficient AND gentle, able to deal with doctors and miserable patients and near death and recovery experiences? Smart, experienced, with valuable pattern recognition and caution and discicpline.

They are so VASTLY superior to bankers, M/A specialists, greedheads and CEOs.

They saved brother’s life three times this week. Gave him a reasonable chance of a full recovery.

It’s a small ward, and if someone comes here that someone doesn’t want to treat, wouuld they turn them away? Assign someone else? Disrupt the rhythm and rotation of a well-oiled team?

Absurd.
