The Country Doctor by Franz Kafka

"I have been like my psychoanalyst self, even with these doctors," she says. "It's a tear in the fabric of reality, which can be very helpful." The country doctor by Franz Kafka is described as an open wound that opens up to reveal worms and small white heads inside. In one story, a boy dies after being injured by an axe but his family refuses to help him because they think he has no faith in them.
