“‘This plague is a force of God," I say, fighting to keep my voice even. ‘No different from an earthquake or a storm. It is no one's fault. And these stupid men are making a war of it, like they make a war of every-thing.’
‘And just like any war, those without power are the first to suffer’”

"You, your mother, and I are the same, though your sex bars you from licensure and stokes all the old fears in those stupid enough to believe that women are inferior to men. God put us on this broken world to heal people, to learn what we can and practice and teach, to put it back together the best we can. Our skills are a gift from God. And we have a divine mandate to practice them”

“a physician's task is not to heal the sick but to stand between the living and death, armed with nothing but books and a little knowledge. Perhaps there is nothing we can do to save this man, but we must try.”
