Emphasis Preaching Journal

A cartoon in a magazine a few years ago pictured an insurance man calling up Dr. Frankenstein saying, "Dr. Frankenstein, your monster is suing you for malpractice!" Without Frankenstein the monster would not exist at all, but the monster can't see that -- he only sees his misshapen form, the warped bones, the ill-fitting skin, the ragged seams where he is sewn together. But life is not a cartoon, nor is it some practical joke. The Frankenstein cartoon goes with an article about doctors who are incompetent, who ruin people's bodies.
