Dr. Charles with his take:
But then I pictured these poor kids dreading their trips to the hospital. While his friends are out playing soccer, John with leukemia has to go see the bearded man who will be administering toxins which simultaneously save and disfigure him. While her friends are crowded around a Nintendo Wii, Emma has to drive with her mom to see the smiling folks that will be hurting her arm with needles. Why shouldn’t these kids be treated to some junk food?
