“Some people think that doctors and nurses can put scrambled eggs back into the shell”
Dorothy Canfield Fisher
“A doctor, like anyone else who has to deal with human beings, each of them unique, cannot be a scientist; he is either, like the surgeon, a craftsman, or, like the physician and the psychologist, an artist. This means that in order to be a good doctor a man must also have a good character, that is to say, whatever weaknesses and foibles he may have, he must love his fellow human beings in the concrete and desire their good before his own.”
W. H. Auden
“The doctor is to be feared more than the disease”
Latin Proverb
