Medical treatment (Avoidance 4 of 8)

I try and avoid hospitals, doctors and any part of the medical institution as much as possible, I honestly believe that the medical institution is toxic and utterly harmful to my psychological state when it comes to coping with my chronically diseased body. The neon green and pastel blue in the resin cube embodies the toxicity of the medical institution. The arrogance of doctors and the impersonal treatment in hospitals is gut-wrenching. I have had terrible, haunting experiences as a patient in hospital care. The magenta and dark grey embody the pain and anger I feel when thinking of my time in medical care.
