It's interesting that in just about every country there are statues and monuments to the heros of war, but I've yet to see a statue for a nurse or a surgeon who - instead of taking life - give life.

It's not quite the same, but every Shriner's Hospital for Children has a statue out front of a Shriner carrying a polio-stricken girl and her crutches.

Hospitals are often named in honor of people.
Not just catholic saints, people that contributed to establishing them and such.

Hospitals not named after saints are more often than not named after rich people who like to have things named after them, not the people who sacrifice in those hospitals serving people.
