Question

There is a patient in Code Black who has diabetes but is unable to afford medication, and is in danger of losing a leg as a result. A resident laments that, had the patient been provided with medication that costs pennies a day, he would not now be in need of emergency treatment that will cost thousands of dollars. This film drives home that the old cliché about an ounce of prevention demands to be reckoned with in dollars and cents, if only for the benefit of those who speak no other language.
