Seconding that this sounds like a description of somewhat over-zealous doctors, through a filter of difficult language AND possible cultural mis-matches. "Attention" as meaning "Likes", right? If someone watches the ocean all day, you think 'I guess they like the ocean'. Someone watches a sick person all day, you think 'woah they like when someones sick...'.
Mind you do also get bad doctors.... or scam doctors....
I wonder if any of these monster folk experience urges to be alone when injured...?
