Hippocrates

If you want to be a good surgeon, go to war.

The physician must not only be prepared to do what is right himself, but also to make the patient, the attendants, and externals cooperate.

Diseases that come on suddenly require a sudden cure.

Medicine is the most distinguished of all the arts.

The physician must be ready, not only to do his duty himself, but also to secure the cooperation of the patient, of the attendants and of externals.
