I heard a medical professional
bound for West Africa declare that "If we have the ability to help people,
then we have the duty to do it."
He felt the sense of duty
overrides the pending danger of Ebola. It reminded me of the Nightingale Pledge.
Truly a noble sentiment.
Unfortunately in the United
States that duty is followed up with the threat of... After we've 'cared' for you,
if you do not pay us the exorbitant and extortionist fees we charge, then we
have the right and even the 'duty' to destroy your life and take everything
from you.
So much for 'Do no harm'.
