The aim of medicine is to prevent disease and prolong life, the ideal of medicine is to eliminate the need of a physician.

William J. Mayo

The young physician starts life with 20 drugs for each disease, and the old physician ends life with one drug for 20 diseases.

William Osler

You encountered a misery near the end of the day and it took a while to gauge its full extent. Some miseries had sharp curvature and could be negotiated readily. Others had almost no curvature and you knew you'd be spending hours turning the corner. Great whopping-big planet-sized miseries.

Jonathan Franzen

Women will tell you, 80 percent of the time - if you listen - what is wrong with them.

The physician who knows only medicine, knows not even medicine.

Mark Twain

When Death lurks at the door, the physician is considered as a God. When danger has been overcome, the physician is looked upon as an angel. When the patient begins to convalesce, the physician becomes a mere human. When the physician asks for his fees, he is considered as the devil himself.

Hendrik Goltzius

As a physician for over 30 years, I am well aware of the dangers infectious diseases pose.

Phil Gingrey

The first duties of the physician is to educate the masses not to take medicine.
