"People who are sick for a long time often turn into demanding, disgusting monsters. The legend of the patient patient who behaves like a saint is a romantic fantasy, nothing more. By the time the bedridden patient gets the first sore on his bottom, he will be evil, he will bite everyone and transfer his misery to others. Of course, he himself cannot do anything about this, but this does not change the situation of those involved.

People who are sick for a long time often turn into demanding, disgusting monsters. The legend of the patient patient who behaves like a saint is a romantic fantasy, nothing more. By the time the bedridden patient gets the first sore on his bottom, he will be evil, he will bite everyone and transfer his misery to others. Of course, he himself cannot do anything about this, but this does not change the situation of those involved.
""Azokból, akik nagyon sokáig betegek, gyakran válik követelőző, utálatos szörnyeteg. A türelmes, szentként viselkedő beteg legendája romantikus képzelgés, semmi egyéb. Mire az ágyhoz kötött beteg fenekén megjelenik az első felfekvés, addigra gonosz is lesz, belemar mindenkibe, és átragasztja másokra a maga nyomorúságát. Ő maga persze nem tehet erről, de ez nem változtat az érintettek helyzetén."
