“While medicine is to be your vocation or calling, see to it that you have also an avocation—some intellectual pastime which may serve to keep you in touch with the world of art, of science, or of letters.” —by Dr. William Osler
Honor the physician with the honor due him,
according to your need of him,
for the Lord created him;
for healing comes from the Most High,
and he will receive a gift from the king.
The skill of the physician lifts up his head,
and in the presence of great men he is admired.
. . . . . . . . . .
Ecclesiasticus 38: 1-15
Surgeons must be very careful
When they take the knife!
Underneath their fine incisions
Stirs the Culprit—Life!
—by Emily Dickinson
Unfortunately (or fortunately) Benjamin Franklin also said, “God heals, and doctors takes the fee.” As Sara said, it helps to pay back the student loan. :- )
Medicine is learned by the bedside and not in the classroom. –by Sir William Osler
(This is the best excuse for those who like to skip a class once in a while.)
The practice of medicine is an art, based on science. –by Sir William Osler
(When doctors have no clue about the pathogenesis or mechanism of something, they like to say “medicine is an art.”)
The greatest mistake in the treatment of disease is that there are physicians for the body and physicians for the soul, although the two cannot be separated. –by Plato
(for Dr. Adam Greenlee who wants to be a doctor for both the body and the mind—a rare double specialty. Plato, worry no more, Dr. Adam Greenlee wouldn't make that kind of mistake.)
Now can we unabashedly say “God cannot be everywhere, so He creates doctors”? Adam R. Greenlee, M.D. would agree, no doubt!
