John Green

“The biomedical paradigm has become so powerful in my imagination that it's easy to forget how inadequate mere medicine can be. Yes, illness is a breakdown, failure, or invasion of the body treated by medical professionals with drugs, surgeries and other interventions. But it is also a breakdown and failure of our social order, an invasion of injustice.”
