Good Doctor (2)

1. All doctors treat, but a good doctor lets nature heal.

2. Physicians do a lot for a patient when they give his disease a name.

3. Nature, time and patience are the 3 great physicians. Bulgarian proverb.

4. Foolish the doctor who despises the knowledge acquired by the ancients. Hippocrates.

5. As we get involved in the emotional healing of others, we get healed emotionally ourselves.

6. That physician will hardly be thought very careful of the health of others who neglects his own. Galen.

7. The fact that your patient gets well does not prove that your diagnosis was correct. Samuel J. Meltzer (1851 – 1921).

8. The great doctors all got their education off dirt pavements and poverty – not marble floors and foundations. Martin H. Fischer (1879 – 1962).

9. To study the phenomenon of disease without books is to sail an uncharted sea, while to study books without patients is not to go to sea at all. Sir William Osler (1849-1919).

10. All knowledge attains its ethical value and its human significance only by the human sense in which it is employed. Only a good man can be a great physician. Hermann Nothnagel (1841 – 1905).
