Monopoly

Met LW, WY and a few other colleagues during lunch. Our discussion somehow turned to the proposal of a children's hospital.

"It is coming soon. God knows what's left for the paediatricians in the peripheral hospital." The professor of neurology sighed.

"I suppose that's the way to focus and make better use of the resource?" One of us said.

"Yes, the resource is very focused," LW made a subconscious twist of his lips, "You know, the government actually assigned a substantial sum of money to conduct research in the hospital. But, the point is, only projects that are going to take place within the four walls of that hospital could apply."

"Alas, focus is the sugar-coated term for monopoly," someone over the other side of the table whispered.

"Not exactly. From a neuroanatomy point of view, you need two eyes to focus. If you have only one, you would actually fail to appreciate the depth of a problem." I whispered back.
