“This was a good beginning. All the outmoded rules of the hospital were broken.”
Ba Jin (1904–2005) Chinese novelist
A Battle For Life (July 1958)
Context: This was a good beginning. All the outmoded rules of the hospital were broken. Minds which had been tied down by subservience to foreign experience were now set in motion. People began to speak, to think and to act boldly. A new world opened in front of them. They knew that what they were doing now was something unprecedented which doctors in capitalist countries had not been able to do. They were engaged in a battle to save lives and as the scope of the battle became wider an increasing number of people were drawn in. Later on when a difficulty occurred in the course of treatment they solicited the opinions of many doctors both within and without the hospital, depending on the wisdom of the many to tide over one crisis after another.
“Rules are mostly made to be broken and are too often for the lazy to hide behind.”
Douglas MacArthur (1880–1964) U.S. Army general of the army, field marshal of the Army of the Philippines
