Dante's "Inferno" takes us on a journey through to the deepest layer of Hell, passing down through layers of fire. Within this Ninth Layer there is no flame, there is a lake of ice. Imprisoned within this are the those of greatest evil, those of greatest betrayal. Rather a puzzle to me, this one. Is it a terrible place, manifesting evil incarnate? Or is Lake Cocytus a good thing, containing the world's greatest evils?
Good or evil this place, this Lake Cocytus, is my space to entomb the thoughts and musings best interred in ice.

Both the patient's death and the disciplinary action, in my opinion. Was no one else responsible for this man's care at the time of his death?
Oh dear. Not good.
