Physicians are like kings- They brook no contradiction.

To preserve a man alive in the midst of so many chances and hostilities, is as great a miracle as to create him.

The best doctors in the world are Doctor Diet, Doctor Quiet, and Doctor Merryman.

What do I want in a doctor? Perhaps more than anything else-a friend with special knowledge.

Let no one suppose that the words doctor and patient can disguise from the parties the fact that they are employer and employee.

A physician can sometimes parry the scythe of death, but has no power over the sand in the hourglass.

Who ever saw one physician approve of another's prescription, without taking something away, or adding something to it?

There's a sort of decency among the dead, a remarkable discretion: you never find them making any complaint against the doctor who killed them!

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.

Doctors cut, burn, and torture the sick, and then demand of them an undeserved fee for such services.

God heals, and the doctor takes the fees.

Every physician almost hath his favourite disease.

Keep away from physicians. It is all probing and guessing and pretending with them. They leave it to Nature to cure in her own time, but they take the credit. As well as very fat fees.

There is among doctors, in acute hospitals at least, a presumption of stupidity in their patients.

Men who are occupied in the restoration of health to other men, by the joint exertion of skill and humanity, are above all the great of the earth. They even partake of divinity, since to preserve and renew is almost as noble as to create.
