Abraham Verghese

The book of the body is written in wounds and wonders.

Reflection is the surgeon's scalpel for the soul.

Public health is everyone's responsibility.

The exam is a dance between doctor and patient.

Addiction binds tighter than any suture.

Wisdom comes from the bedside, not the boardroom.

Surgery is where hope meets skill.

Laughter is the best antidote to despair in the wards.

Family ties are the strongest medicine.

The philosophy of medicine is rooted in humility.

In the face of death, we affirm life.

Art imitates the precision of the scalpel.

Politics affects the pulse of nations through health.

A good doctor never stops learning.

Intuition guides where evidence falters.

The humor in medicine keeps us sane.

Life's meaning is found in service to others.

Wisdom is knowing when to wield the knife.

Science alone cannot cure the spirit.

Every scar tells a story of resilience.
