If any proof is needed, consider how immune to strong emotion our society has grown. At your next visit to the local funeral parlor, glance at the mourners, who can more properly be defined as spectators. Notice how they smell, how well-dressed and dignified they are. This is because viewing the dead has become overwhelmingly acceptable as a social function.

She proved to be quite a treasure of a nurse. — J.M. Barrie

But only for as long as he cannot be replaced, for it is better to entrust civilian tasks to civilians. — David Galula

The instruction here is not for every kind of writer - not for the writer of nurse books or thrillers or porno or the cheaper sort of sci-fi - though it is true that what holds for the most serious kind of fiction will generally hold for junk fiction as well.

The most elegant techniques in the world, filtered through a junk mind, become elegant junk techniques.) — John Gardner

Many patients also claim to feel better and to need fewer pain medications, Axen said. "It's become a vital tool for my patients and their families. — Alexandra Robbins
