Social machinery

I drew this picture after a particularly inhumane meeting with a "medical counsellor". I was in the middle of a bad burnout. The "counsellor", appointed by my "mutuelle" (a state-sponsored health insurance organisation), suddenly decided I was fit for work - which I wasn't. There ensued a long and absurd administrative battle that Kafka himself couldn't have made up.
(There is a follow up to this painting called "In court".)
The "conseiller FOREM" is a job seeking advisor.
The "médecin conseil" is the medical "counsellor".
