Do Not Cure, Never Heal a Patient.

Burt Laurence and his friend Alex North were looking at the universities note board. All the years' study had, at last, paid off. Both of the friends where now Doctors. Alex could you come home to our house today, we are having a celebration at home. Sure, answered Alex. My plane doesn't leave before Tuesday at noon.

I'm sorry, but we cannot cure any patient, said Lind. If we did, there would be no need for doctors, medication or hospitals. We have an answer to that problem answered Burt. After explaining their idea, they were both given ten thousand per month pay,
