Cured yesterday of my disease, I died last night of my physician.
~ Matthew Prior - [Doctors]

Deceive not thy physician, confessor, nor lawyer.
~ George Herbert - [Doctors]

Employment is nature's physician, and is essential to human happiness.
~ Claudius Galen - [Doctors]

For each illness that doctors cure with medicine, they provoke ten in healthy people by inoculating them with the virus that is a thousand times more powerful than any microbe: the idea that one is ill.
~ Marcel Proust - [Doctors]

God heals and the doctor takes the fee.
~ Benjamin Franklin - [Doctors]

I have noticed that doctors who fail in the practice of medicine have a tendency to seek one another's company and aid in consultation. A doctor who cannot take out your appendix properly will recommend you to a doctor who will be unable to remove your tonsils with success.
~ Ernest Hemingway - [Doctors]

I suppose one has a greater sense of intellectual degradation after an interview with a doctor than from any human experience.
~ Alice James - [Doctors]

I wasn't driven into medicine by a social conscience but by rampant curiosity.
~ Jonathan Miller - [Doctors]

Instead of wishing to see more doctors made by women joining what there are, I wish to see as few doctors, either male or female, as possible. For, mark you, the women have made no improvement -- they have only tried to be ''men'' and they have only succeeded in being third-rate men.
~ Florence Nightingale - [Doctors]

Is it not also true that no physician, in so far as he is a physician, considers or enjoins what is for the physician's interest, but that all seek the good of their patients? For we have agreed that a physician strictly so called, is a ruler of bodies, and not a maker of money, have we not?
~ Plato - [Doctors]
