chemotherapy
Chemotherapy is the modern medical spectacle that hurls toxic molecules onto the stage within the body to ravage the would-be star known as cancer cells. Accompanied by unbearable side effects, the patient becomes a believer sacrificing their own flesh in prayer for survival. Healthcare professionals precisely adjust the poison with cold calmness, converting the patient’s suffering into data points. By waging chemical violence, chemotherapy either destroys the cancer or destabilizes the patient’s quality of life, the outcome ultimately left to the molecules’ own whim. All of this is offered under the name "choices," leaving patients no option but to sign the side effects contract.
