This headline is so utterly demeaning.

When I read this headline, I was utter confabulated:

Have we become so utterly degraded that we work in the service for the personal ulterior motive, to wit:

that we may be comforted?

As a practicing MD here in Ontario and once in UK, I can assure you that I have never attended a patient for the gain that:

I might be comforted!

Do people get sick so that by being sick they open the opportunity for doctors to be comforted, especially this Syrian MD.

What on earth is the matter with this Syrian doctor? Is it really true that he attends the sick so that he becomes comfortable?

And when there is NO sick, what is his specific discomfort that he must find the sick to get him comfortableness.
