Without advances, medicine regresses and reverts to witchcraft.

I am not a witch doctor, and in fact, you cannot have a witch doctor. You are either a witch or a doctor.

Formerly, when religion was strong and science weak, men mistook magic for medicine; now, when science is strong and religion weak, men mistake medicine for magic.

I think legislation needs to put an end to doctors profiting on businesses to which they can funnel patients - that is business, not medicine. If you try to call it medicine, then it is corruption. Without legislation, it will keep happening.

It is part of politics to make things look better than they really are. What is a spin doctor but a serial euphemiser?

I don't have a pen name, so I'm thinking of getting a doctor's name. What would you call that, a stethoscope name?

I don't believe in voodoo.

In the past, men created witches: now they create mental patients.

I like to say magic is the world's second oldest profession, a mystical and often awe-inspiring spectacle that, throughout the ages, has blended superstition, trickery and religion.

They certainly give very strange names to diseases.
