God and the Doctor we alike adore
But only when in danger, not before;
The danger o’er, both are alike requited,
God is forgotten, and the Doctor slighted.
A Medical quote by Robert Owen It is a good thing for a physician to have prematurely grey hair and itching piles. The first makes him appear to know more than he does, and the second gives him an expression of concern which the patient interprets as being on his behalf. A Medical quote by A. Benson Cannon
The greatest mistake in the treatment of diseases is that there are physicians for the body and physicians for the soul, although the two cannot be separated. A Medical quote by Plato
A man who cannot work without his hypodermic needle is a poor doctor. The amount of narcotic you use is inversely proportional to your skill. A Medical quote by Martin H. Fischer
It is not a case we are treating; it is a living, palpitating, alas, too often suffering fellow creature. A Medical quote by John Brown
The patient does not care about your science; what he wants to know is, can you cure him? A Medical quote by Martin H. Fischer
