Quotes by Doctor on Medicine
Medicines are of subordinate importance because of their very nature they can only work symptomatically. —Hans Kusche, M. D.
If all the medicine in the world were thrown into the sea, it would be bad for the fish and good for humanity —O. W. Holmes (Professor of Medicine, Harvard University)
Every drug increases and complicates the patients condition. —Robert Henderson, M. D.
Why would a patient swallow a poison because he is ill, or take that which would make a well man sick —L. F. Kebler, M. D.

Pain may disappear, but the patient is left in a worse condition, though unconscious of it at the time. —Daniel H Kress, M. D.
The person who takes medicine must recover twice, once from the disease and once from the medicine. —William Osler, M. D.
