The Hippocratic Oath

All of us have had to run to Doctors, either for ourselves or someone we know. And with each encounter, we realize more and more how much one needs to trust this human inorder to be cured. It doesn't take a Doctor holding a knife in their hand to make you realize that your life, literally depends on them.

Rage of this Age

It's just sad how things are shaping up... for all of us.. In all of us !!!
