      Knowledge Before the Fall

      Mar 1, 2023

      It would be nice to be a doctor, I've sometimes thought. If you began to feel something go wrong, you could diagnose yourself. You'd know what you were in for. There'd be no surprises, and all pain and discomfort would be mitigated by an awareness of
