"It is at these times like this, when a doctor is conscious of his complete powerlessness, that he longs for change: a change to prevent the injustice of a system..."
This is Che's reaction to the condition of a woman he is treating in Chile for asthma. He feels very strongly about how this should not be allowed to happen. She was previously a waitress who earned enough money to live, now she is "surrounded by an atmosphere of barely disguised acrimony."I think this had a tremendous impact on the person he was to become in terms of shaping his political ideals. He wants to change life in a way so that a woman like this would not have to suffer and would be able to receive sufficient medical treatment.
