“dealing with the links between poverty and ill health by trying to provide more money is no different, to me, from seeing a patient with pneumonia and prescribing antibiotics: in each station, i'm simply giving appropriate treatment. just as certain medicines are appropriate treatments for particular diseases, so more money, or holidays, or a better house, may also improve my patients health.”
