Roman medicine was alright. I mean, they had leeches, yes, but they used basic anesthetics and boiled their implements first for surgery, and used vinegar acid to wash out wounds, which worked as a rudimentary disinfectant. You're probably thinking of medieval medicine, which was terrible.

Now I'm embarrassed because that probably sounded unbearably pretentious but I've never had any friends so I read a lot and I use knowledge to make up for all my other inadequacies. The leeches were just a metaphor, but I was avoiding your actual point because it struck a nerve with me.

You're right that there's not really any difference. Everyone is messed up and everyone does unforgivable things and the only meaningful difference between wardens and inmates is power.

But I still think you're a better person that I am, because that distresses you. You want things to be fair, you want to make them okay, for the people you care about, instead of just hurting them to get want you want. I'm jealous.
