St Thomas Hospital

Folder: 
First Do No Harm

St Thomas Hospital, the birthplace of Alcoholics Anonymous,

where a nun wishing to be anonymous gave sanctuary

to Bill W and Dr Bob and through them to all the millions

who followed.



Today Mary is confined to a courtyard statue,

while in the name of doubting Thomas,

doctors who do not believe in miracles

carve up innocent dogs, debarked so their cries

will not disturb the patients.
