imagine a hospital
not just any hospital
but the best hospital in the world
the finest doctors all at the forefronts of their fields
the most cognizant and caring nurses
all the latest cutting-edge technology
the most rigorously tested
and the most vigorously effective medicine
even the cafeteria food
is peppered with excellence
now, it’s not perfect
no human institution ever is
despite the best of motives
mistakes have been made
not everyone has been saved
still
with all the flaws, the mishaps, and misdiagnoses
it has done the most this world has ever seen
to put people back on their feet
this is the hospital that everyone wants to go to
because they know
it’s the best chance they have to be healed
of whatever’s broken
it’s what they’ve put their hope in
because their neighborhood hospital either doesn’t have the dreams or the means to remodel
some people are fortunate
they were born in this hospital
and they have lifetime passes
they’re so used to it
they don’t even know how good they have it
sure, they might have to endure some renovations
but they definitely didn’t have to die pouring the foundation
this hospital happily accepts as many people as it can
even a lot of folks that don’t even have appointments
some people travel a long way
on dangerous, dusty, forsaken, and forsworn roads
limping on last legs
and they finally arrive only to find…
the doors are closed
the hospital can only take so many patients at a time
if it gets overrun, overcrowded, overworked, and over-burdened
the quality of treatment starts to decline
until eventually, the entropy of chaos renders it in ineffective
and everything that once made its famed operations possible
is gone
see, when that knob doesn’t turn
it doesn’t mean there aren’t doctors and nurses inside sobbing
it’s not because they don’t care about the injured,
the less fortunate, the downtrodden
it’s because they do
they know that if the hospital falls
and becomes just a lawless free for all
it can’t help anybody
it will cease to be a beacon
thieved of it’s meaning
as it recedes deep into the fog of forgotten freedom
if you are one of the more fortunate
please, don’t take a torch to it
instead of tearing it down
become a physician
make it your mission
to make the hospital immeasurably more efficient
increase your capacity
help the hospital construct some new floors
so that it can open up some new doors
make it strong
so that it can continue to lift the weight of the world
because these infections, these diseases, these epidemics
they’re heavy
and the world doesn’t need more enemies
it need remedies
