As a citizen of the world, I will not confine myself within the gates of one nation or religion.

Patient surveys conducted by patient organizations confirm high levels of patient dissatisfaction in the medical encounter.

BLACK AND WHITE I was born into A religion of Light, But with so many other Religions and Philosophies, How do I know which ONE Is right? Is it not My birthright To seek out the light?

And why do all those who Try to guide me, Always start by dividing And multiplying me – From what they consider Wrong or right? I thought, There were no walls For whoever beams truth and light.
