“The patient is the one with the disease”
“It is much more important to know what sort of patient has a disease than what sort of disease a patient has.”
“The physician should not treat the disease but the patient who is suffering from it”
“The art of medicine consists of amusing the patient while nature cures the disease.”
“Ignore ignorance? You might as well withhold medicine from a very sick patient. Not only will the patient get worse, the disease will spread.”
“The doctor of the future will give no medication, but will interest his patients in the care of the human frame, diet and in the cause and prevention of disease. ~ ”
