Doctors only treat the symptoms of the fundamental incurable sickness which is the impermanence of the body.
Doctors exist because whether healthy or not, our body is a ticking bomb waiting to explode itself as indeed are all things. What is will always become what is not.
This puts the endeavours of the medical industry in the proper perspective - treatments not cures. Which opens the door to the cure which is what religions describe.
This is in response to a friend saying that her father as a doctor considered that he knew suffering better than the priests of the Catholic tradition. Thinking about this gave me this realisation.
