Dr. Barnard couldn’t find any nobility in suffering. Why?
Advertisements

As a doctor, he does not find any nobility in suffering. There is nothing noble in a patient’s thrashing around in a sweat-soaked bed, mind clouded in agony. He was against his dad’s faith that suffering ennobles human beings.
