Quacks are a part of our culture, and we all fall prey to them. Who among us can say, for sure, that even our own personal physicians are honest and competent?
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Good physicians are rarely dispassionate. They agonize and self-doubt over patients.
Nothing is more despicable than a professional talker who uses his words as a quack uses his remedies.
Most allopathic doctors think practitioners of alternative medicine are all quacks. They're not. Often they're sharp people who think differently about disease.
I truly feel the best doctors are ones who are criticized by nurses, patients and family. They do not make excuses and learn from their mistakes.
There is actually quite a lot of crossover between the quacks and drug companies. They use the same tricks and tactics to bamboozle people into buying their pills, but drug firms can afford to use slightly more sophisticated versions.
Who shall decide when doctors disagree, And soundest casuists doubt, like you and me?
I think we are faced in medicine with the reality that we have to be willing to talk about our failures and think hard about them, even despite the malpractice system. I mean, there are things that we can do to make that system better.
We do not accost a physician as we do any mere nobody; nor a magistrate as we do a private individual. We try to get some advantage from the skill of the one and the position of the other. Walk in the sun, and your shadow will follow you, whether you will or not.
There is a clear matter that I am not a practicing physician; I have never been a practitioner; everybody has known for decades.
I'm a terrible patient, and I find that doctors can be very condescending.
