Doctor Quote by Richard Roberts
““I practically strutted as dad walked me into what looked like the hospital’s rear entrance. That didn’t fool me. All entrances to a hospital look like the back entrance. The front door always enters into somewhere useless. Hospitals are designed by the same architect who makes supervillain labyrinths.””
