Doc. Dana reporting for duty!Picture this: You’re ill, lying on your bed and recuperating at home. Through your medicine-induced, half-drowsy state, you hear the familiar footsteps of your child approaching. Lovingly, you carve a weak smile and open your eyes to be greeted by a face clad with surgical mask, bearing a pair of scissors in one hand and a knife in the other, muttering the words “ Don’t worry Daddy…I will cure you…I’ve done this many times”.
