Physiognomy Quotes : pic 001178541

Physiognomy Quotes : pic 001680148

Physiognomy Quotes : pic 000705460
Surgeons know nothing but do everything. Internists know everything but do nothing. Pathologists know everything and do everything but too late.

Physiognomy Quotes : pic 000985531

Physiognomy Quotes : pic 000543036

Physiognomy Quotes : pic 000384393
Now of the difficulties bound up with the public in which we doctors work, I hesitate to speak in a mixed audience. Common sense in matters medical is rare, and is usually in inverse ratio to the degree of education.
Physiognomy Quotes : pic 001131490

For a long time, I felt instinctively irritated - sometimes repelled - by scientific friends' automatic use of the word 'mechanism' for automatic bodily processes. A machine was man-made; it was not a sentient being; a man was not a machine.
Physiognomy Quotes : pic 000825589
The patient suffers; the family threatens; the colleagues frown; the nurse laughs; Death grins; and the young doctor dances a crazy jig amid the tumult, though once he dreamed he would glide along the floor with Death in a perfectly controlled tango.
Physiognomy Quotes : pic 000757715
I welcomed my slavish existence as a surgical resident, the never-ending work, the cries that kept me in the present, the immersion in blood, pus, and tears
the fluids in which one dissolved all traces of self. In working myself ragged, I felt integrated ...
Physiognomy Quotes : pic 001126262

Physiognomy Quotes : pic 000547178
The art of healing, the art of ecstasy, the art of God-consciousness has millions of names in mystic terms. It has to do with rhythm and reality. When the body is in rhythm, there is ease. When the body, or any part of the body goes out of rhythm, there is dis-ease.

Physiognomy Quotes : pic 000579036

Physiognomy Quotes : pic 000827891
How often we must remember the art of the surgeon, which, in replacing the broken bone, contents itself with releasing the parts from false position; they fly into place by the action of the muscles. On this art of nature all our arts rely.

Physiognomy Quotes : pic 001310277
The Structure of Magic I by Richard Bandler and John Grinder is a delightful simplification of the infinite complexities of the language I use with patients. In reading this book, I learned a great deal about the things that I've done without knowing about them.

Physiognomy Quotes : pic 001373252
