Patients Quotes

For most people, chemotherapy is no longer the chamber of horrors we often conceive it to be. Yes, it is an ordeal for some people, but it wasn’t for me, nor for most of the patients I got to know during my four months of periodic visits to the chemo suite Picture Quote #1

I think the way we think about cancer, the way we treat cancer, has dramatically changed in the last century. There is an enormous amount of options that a physician can provide today, right down from curing patients, treating patients or providing patients with psychic solace or pain relief Picture Quote #1

One reason I can be more tolerant than most is that as a therapist I have the advantage of information about my patients that most people are not privy to. And I discover that we rarely if ever see the totality of another in ordinary social intercourse. When an individual appears mean and lazy, we are only seeing one part of the person, elicited by a particular set of circumstances on a particular day, and we do well to wait a while before concluding that what we see is the whole person Picture Quote #1

We have the sense that medical students come to medicine with a great capacity to understand the suffering of patients. And then by the end of the third year they completely lose that ability, partly because we teach them the specialized language of medicine Picture Quote #1

I have often seen quite demented patients recognize and respond vividly to paintings and delight in the act of painting at a time when they are scarcely responsive, disoriented, and out of it Picture Quote #1

The young doctor should look about early for an avocation, a pastime, that will take him away from patients, pills, and potions… Picture Quote #1

To have a group of cloistered clinicians away completely from the broad current of professional life would be bad for teacher and worse for student. The primary work of a professor of medicine in a medical school is in the wards, teaching his pupils how to deal with patients and their diseases Picture Quote #1

Services provided to individuals who are irreversibly prevented from being or becoming participating citizens are not basic and should not be guaranteed. An obvious example is not guaranteeing health services to patients with dementia Picture Quote #1

Probably most dying patients, even when suffering greatly, would choose to live as long as possible. That courage and grace should be protected and honored, and we should put every effort into treating their symptoms Picture Quote #1

We have made an extraordinary transition. From moral absolutes to moral relativism.... Moral problems become medical ones and yesterday’s sinners become today’s patients Picture Quote #1

A chop is a piece of leather skillfully attached to a bone and administered to the patients at restaurants Picture Quote #1

The two things are synergistic, the health care crisis and the food crisis. Right now, to a large extent, the food industry’s biggest product is patients for the health care industry and we have to break that Picture Quote #1

By keeping my hand in that, it’s the way I keep learning. The main way you learn in medicine is by practicing and working with patients Picture Quote #1

My mother was a trained nurse, and she’d tell me that patients would fight as they were administered anaesthetic, grappling to get the gas mask off their face Picture Quote #1

The nanofibrillar scaffolds designed to guide the process of cellular repopulation is an important step towards prolonging life and enhancing the quality of life for patients with advanced heart disease with defective valve Picture Quote #1

Residents of my district continue to stress to me that they want health care decisions to be made by patients and doctors, not by the government and insurance companies Picture Quote #1

Of all the arguments against voluntary euthanasia, the most influential is the slippery slope: once we allow doctors to kill patients, we will not be able to limit the killing to those who want to die Picture Quote #1

The forces that have worked hard to stoke populist anger against reform are the very ones that benefit from a health system which puts profits ahead of quality care for its patients Picture Quote #1

I got interested in the emotions after studying patients who had lost the ability to emote and feel under certain circumstances. Many of those patients also had major impairments in their ability to make decisions Picture Quote #1

Editors and their authors seldom form deep friendships for the same reason that psychiatrists and their patients keep their distance: The relationship requires candor that mixes poorly with intimacy Picture Quote #1

If we include hedonistic philosophy in hospitals, the lives of patients suffering from cancer would be much, much better Picture Quote #1

Doctors and patients need as much data as possible to make an informed decision about what treatment is best Picture Quote #1

Medicare is immune from the competitive pressures that force private insurers to pay attention to what patients and doctors want Picture Quote #1

Every physician must be rich in knowledge, and not only of that which is written in books; his patients should be his book, they will never mislead him Picture Quote #1

I find that low protein diets often contribute to improvement in patients with immune system problems... In fact, it would be hard to become deficient in protein in our country even if you tried Picture Quote #1

Patients are empowered by having better access to their own health information, and then by owning their own data Picture Quote #1

People spending more of their own money on routine health care would make the system more competitive and transparent and restore the confidence between the patients and the doctors without government rationing Picture Quote #1

We should be concerned not only about the health of individual patients, but also the health of our entire society Picture Quote #1

The doctor learns that if he gets ahead of the superstitions of his patients he is a ruined man; and the result is that he instinctively takes care not to get ahead of them Picture Quote #1
