核心畫面

Picture the slip of paper the doctor hands you: on it is what shall be taken, written by someone whose word settles the matter. From that slip come the medicine it names, the rule that you cannot get the drug without it, and — outside medicine altogether — someone's recipe for fixing a problem.

可以想成:醫生遞給你的那張紙——上面寫著該用什麼,而且是由說了算的人寫的。從那張紙延伸出三件事:紙上指定的那份藥、「更多收起可以想成:醫生遞給你的那張紙——上面寫著該用什麼,而且是由說了算的人寫的。從那張紙延伸出三件事:紙上指定的那份藥、「沒有這張紙就拿不到藥」這條規矩,以及離開醫療場景之後,某人替一個問題開出的「藥方」。
