It's like they say about soldiers coming back from war. People all around you are dying. Really dying, Eric. You go in for a week's chemotherapy and you're in a ward with people who are really, actually dying, there and then and doing their best to come to terms with it. When the week's up, you go home and you see your family and your friends and everything's normal and familiar. It's too much. You think - one world can't possibly hold both these lives and you feel like you're going to go crazy when you realise the world is that big and it can fill with the most terrible things whenever it wants to.

Max Lerner
The tongue ever turns to the aching tooth.
Proverbs
So long as the body is affected through the mind no audacious device even of the most manifestly dishonest character can fail of producing occasional good to those who yield to it an implicit or even a partial faith.
Oliver Wendell Holmes
Tranquillizers do not change our environment nor do they change our personalities. They merely reduce our responsiveness to stimuli. They dull the keen edge of the angers fears or anxiety with which we might otherwise react to the problems of living. Once the response has been dulled the irritating surface noise of living muted or eliminated the spark and brilliance are also gone.
Indra Devi

Horace Walpole
Health is the thing that makes you feel that now is the best time of the year.
Franklin Pierce Adams
When you hear hoofbeats think of horses before zebras.
Harley S. Smyth
The American Medical Association operating from a platform of negative vigilance presents no solutions but busily fights each change and then loudly supports it against the next proposal.

When we are sick our virtues and our vices are in abeyance.
Vauvenargues
Most things get better by themselves. Most things in fact are better by morning.

Oliver Wendell Holmes
One of the first duties of the physician is to educate the masses not to take medicine.
William Osier
I was sick and ye visited me.
Bible
There is a great difference between a good physician and a bad one yet very little between a good one and none at all.
Arthur Young
Nature time and patience are the three great physicians.
Proverbs
So many come to the sickroom thinking of themselves as men of science fighting disease and not as healers with a little knowledge helping nature to get a sick man well.
Sir Auckland Geddes
No doctor takes pleasure in the health even of his friends.
Michel de Montaigne
It requires a great deal of faith for a man to be cured by his own placebos.
John L. McClenahan
It is very difficult to slow down. The practice of medicine is like the heart muscle's contraction - it's all or none.
Bela Schick
Those in the United States who by and large have the best medical care and advice readily available to them at the least expense are the families of the specialists in internal medicine. These families use less medicine and undergo less surgery on the whole than any other group rich or poor.
Edward C. Lambert
Nothing is more fatal to health than an overcare of it.
Benjamin Franklin

Jane Ace
The sorrow which has no vent in tears may make other organs weep.
Henry Maudsley
There is some reason to believe there is greater safety in this branch of medicine from modest unassuming ignorance than from a meddling presumption which frequently accompanies a little learning.

A person seldom falls sick but the bystanders are animated with a faint hope that he will die.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
In my youth once when I had a really exquisite toothache I suddenly realized that my tooth had temporarily become the centre of the universe that its outcries were more important than anything else and that I would do absolutely anything to placate it. And as one gets older and starts worrying about cancer one becomes more and more conscious of the fragility of the whole body and with that consciousness comes a new and degrading kind of fear. It is degrading because it strengthens the desire to survive on any terms and the desire to survive on any terms is the most base of all our instincts.
Otto Friedrich
If a man thinks about his physical or moral state he usually discovers that he is ill.
Goethe
I reckon being ill is one of the greatest pleasures of life provided one is not too ill and is not obliged to work till one is better.
Samuel Butler
We are usually the best men when in the worst health.

Peter Latham
The prime goal is to alleviate suffering and not to prolong life. And if your treatment does not alleviate suffering but only prolongs life that treatment should be stopped.
Christian Barnard
As long as men are liable to die and are desirous to live a physician will be made fun of but he will be well paid.
Jean de La Bruyère
After dinner rest a while after supper walk a mile.
Arabic proverb
Imprisoned in every fat man a thin one is wildly signalling to be let out.

Wherever a doctor cannot do good he must be kept from doing harm.
Hippocrates
The student is to collect and evaluate facts. The facts are locked up in the patient.
Abraham Flexner
The practice of medicine is a thinker's art the practice of surgery a plumber's.
Martin H. Fisher
Every surgeon carries about him a little cemetery in which from time to time he goes to pray a cemetery of bitterness and regret of which he seeks the reason for certain of his failures.
