I don't think that's totally true. [ She's... possibly giving them the benefit of the doubt. But doctors do care. They swear an oath and everything. Do no harm. Of course they must care. ]

Brains are complicated. Even now, doctors don't really know how they totally work. I think it's less about not caring and more about not really knowing what else to do.

If they gave you pain meds, maybe they just hoped it'd help the pain in your mind.
