Truth in medicine is an unattainable goal, and the art as described in books is far beneath the knowledge of an experienced and thoughtful physician.
Al - Razi The remedy is worse than the disease. Francis Bacon There are no such things as incurable, there are only things for which man has not found a cure. Bernard Mannes Baruch Vaccination is the medical sacrament corresponding to baptism. Samuel Butler Healing is a matter of time, but it is sometimes also a matter of opportunity. Hippocrates Keep a watch also on the faults of the patients, which often make them lie about the taking of things prescribed. Hippocrates Panic plays no part in the training of a nurse. Elizabeth Kenny We have to ask ourselves whether medicine is to remain a humanitarian and respected profession or a new but depersonalized science in the service of prolonging life rather than diminishing human suffering. Elisabeth Kübler - Ross All interest in disease and death is only another expression of interest in life. Thomas Mann Medicine sometimes snatches away health, sometimes gives it. Ovid Medicine is not only a science; it is also an art. It does not consist of compounding pills and plasters; it deals with the very processes of life, which must be understood before they may be guided. Paracelsus Prevention of disease must become the goal of every physician. Henry E. Sigerist A man is as old as his arteries. Thomas Sydenham Medical education is not completed at the medical school: it is only begun. William H. Welch |
