Once upon a time, millions of years in the future, on a planet light-years away, there lived a small colony of breeding doctors.

They were the descendants of those devoted professionals who had escaped Earth during the New Reign of Terror perpetrated by regulators who had gained control of the medical profession.

These escapees had made their new home on a barren celestial body they named Planet Dearth where they passed down stories from generation to generation about how a regulatory epidemic had wreaked havoc on highly trained medicos who were devoting their lives caring for the sick, injured and disabled.

The work these health providers performed was never deemed good enough.
