Which lines in this excerpt from leo tolstoy’s the death of ivan ilyich reflects the author’s opinion that the members of the medical profession don’t really care about their patients?

"peter went to the door, but ivan ilyich dreaded being left alone. "how can i keep him here? [oh yes, my medicine." "peter, give me my medicine." "why not? perhaps it may still do some good." he took a spoonful and swallowed it.] "no, it won't . [ it's all tomfoolery, all deception," he decided as soon as he became aware of the familiar, sickly, hopeless taste.] "no, i can't believe in it any longer. but the pain, why this pain? if it would only cease just for a moment! " and he moaned. peter turned towards him. "it's all right. go and fetch me some tea."
[…her attitude towards him and his diseases is still the same.] just as the doctor had adopted a certain relation to his patient which he could not abandon, so had she formed one towards him—that he was not doing something he ought to do and was himself to blame, and that she reproached him lovingly for this—and she could not now change that attitude.
["you see he doesn't listen to me and doesn't take his medicine at the proper time. and above all he lies in a position that is no doubt bad for him—with his legs up."]
she described how he made gerasim hold his legs up.
[the doctor smiled with a contemptuous affability that said: "what's to be done? these sick people do have foolish fancies of that kind, but we must forgive them."]"
