The doctor is then caught between his general duty to patients at large and his particular duty to the patient in front of him, a tension tautened for a Hippocratic promoter of health and life by a patient in search of an exit. The system no doubt prefers death to be cheap and orderly but this thought may not move someone like Rilke wanting a death of his own.
