15 POINTS!!! Which sentences in this excerpt from Leo Tolstoy's The Death of Ivan Ilyich show the author's skepticism about modern medicine and the cult of celebrity doctors?

1) "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 help. It's all tomfoolery, all deception," he decided as soon as he became aware of the familiar, sickly, hopeless taste

2) But the pain, why this pain?

3) "It's all right. Go and fetch me some tea."

4) Left alone Ivan Ilyich groaned not so much with pain, terrible though that was, as from mental anguish.

5) If only *what* would come quicker? Death, darkness? No, no! anything rather than death!
