“The physician should not treat the disease but the patient who is suffering from it”

“Physicians and scientists will measure brain hormones—in ventricular fluid and elsewhere—will link these to specific diseases, and will devise space-age techniques to restock the mind's hormonal pantries. The only question is, When?'”

“The disease of an evil conscience is beyond the practice of all the physicians of all the countries in the world.”

“Cured yesterday of my disease,
I died last night of my physician.”

“Physicians of the Utmost Fame
Were called at once; but when they came
They answered, as they took their Fees,

“I observe the physician, with the same diligence, as he the disease; I see he fears, and I fear with him…”

“The problem for a Paracelsian physician like me is that I see diseases as disguises in which people present me with their wretchedness.”

“There's literally no difference between a physician recognizing a disease from a "facial expression", and a little child pointing to something and saying "doggie."”

“Physicians are the cobblers, rather the botchers, of men's bodies; as the one patches our tattered clothes, so the other solders our diseased flesh.”
