But I think doctors have always been either honest or dishonest.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Compassionate doctors sometimes lie to patients about the severity of their condition, and it is not always wrong to do so.
The secret of a long life is to never trust a doctor.
Well, the truth is that a lot of people lie about their health, they lie about the finances, they lie about things at work, they lie about things.
A doctrinaire is a fool but an honest man.
I have many times thought I did the wrong thing, but the reason was not to be a medical doctor - it was just to have the information. But then, maybe I was wrong, I don't know.
You don't lie to your own doctor. You don't lie to your own attorney, and you don't lie to your employees.
Deceive not thy physician, confessor, nor lawyer.
I've always told the truth. I've often been wrong - but I've never knowingly lied. Not in public life. Because I don't see the need to.
Doctors are human; they make mistakes, and you have to stay on top of them. You have to ask the second question, the third question, the follow-up to the fourth question.
Good physicians are rarely dispassionate. They agonize and self-doubt over patients.
