There are a lot of different people out there with a lot of different approaches to life among patients, but there are patterns that pop out. The most common is just straight endurance, more of a True Neutral approach of let’s just do the steps and tortoise walk through this until it’s done.
Then there are the I hate my life for doing this to me and want to pay it forward to everyone in healthcare because I have to be here at all types.
Then there’s the I’m going to roll with it because it’s no one’s fault, scared but not rancorous, and while this sucks, I want to find whatever joy I can in all the details of the life I have right now.
Tom here is like I have a thin frame and a bald head from the chemo, Picard it is this Halloween. Then he gets all his hair back, puts on the weight and a lovely beard and uses that costume again. Dual purpose probably, to bask in his recovery. A celebration of getting to use the costume again in a new way with a better, healthier body.
Tom is the latter patient. Those patients are among the most wholesome things in life you will ever encounter simply because of who they are as people.
This community has a strange definition of wholesome…

I’d call it uplifting, not wholesome but I do appreciate your explanation!
Well it could have been much worse with a third panel “Tasha”
