In this week’s episode, a medical doctor forgoes a prestigious career to practice in a poor neighborhood and to treat a population who would not normally have access to good medical care. The doctor personifies the Good Samaritan from the parable in Luke 10:25-37 – a man who showed mercy to another in need instead of ignoring his plight.
