00:03if as a doctor my job is to protect and restore health can I look just at the one individual
00:13called the patient or is the patient actually a representative of an entire society an entire
00:21ecosystem is there really an individual fragment called the patient and if my job
00:29is to bring health can I limit my responsibility then to just one patient because that's what is
00:36tempting to think I have to deal with this patient but what if the patient's health and sickness both
00:46depend on the wider environment and the larger ecosystem then can we limit our responsibility
00:53to one individual I mean fine I might be treating the patient's lungs and I might tell myself even
01:02congratulate myself on being a good doctor of the lungs but what about the society that corrupts
01:12pollutes the air to such an extent that it becomes very difficult to keep the lungs healthy as a doctor
01:20then can I say that I deal with an individual or must I have a wider responsibility
