42. Nothing there renders him

deserving of a beating, nor does it mean he did not have to be back to see patients the next day.

Seriously, why is it so reflexive for people to blame the guy who is bleeding while declaring that he deserved it and got what was coming to him by the ones who did the beating.

Victim blaming is not right.
