As I am not fond of giving advice,having seldom seen it taken
Nonpractice Quotes : pic 001500293

Nonpractice Quotes : pic 000477831

hurt you.
Nonpractice Quotes : pic 000768640

Nonpractice Quotes : pic 000673515
We are educated in the grossest ignorance, and no art omitted to stifle our natural reason; if some few get above their nurses instructions, our knowledge must rest concealed and be as useless to the world as gold in the mine.
Nonpractice Quotes : pic 000223854
The claim of alternative practitioners to not treat disease labels but the whole patient ... allows alternative practitioners to live in a fool's paradise of quackery where they believe themselves to be protected from any challenges and demands for evidence.

Nonpractice Quotes : pic 001107873

Nonpractice Quotes : pic 000579036

Nonpractice Quotes : pic 000632023

Nonpractice Quotes : pic 001548357
Internists know everything but do nothing; surgeons know nothing but do everything; psychiatrists know nothing and do nothing; and pathologists know everything and do everything, but it is too late.
