The Comprehensive View.

Dr Kutner has a line in an episode of House:

‘I like being different. The view is better from the outside looking in.’

Is it? It's certainly more all-embracing, but does that make it better?

The view from the outside is like looking at a pretty girl with X-ray vision, so you see the tumours, the parasites, the waste matter and the slimy stuff behind the come-hither smile and the model girl figure. You can even smell it all.

Is that better? Maybe it is, but it comes at a price. And it’s what I’m stuck with.
