One has a greater sense of degradation after an interview with a doctor than from any human experience.

Doctors are human animals. They want to be loved, they are tribal, they instinctually favor stories over scientific evidence, they make mistakes, and even small gifts make them susceptible to being biased.

I'm a terrible patient, and I find that doctors can be very condescending.

Anytime you interfere with a natural process, you're playing God. God determines what happens naturally. That means when a person's ill, he shouldn't go to a doctor because he's asking for interference with God's will. But of course, patients can't think that way.

Good physicians are rarely dispassionate. They agonize and self-doubt over patients.

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.

I would welcome processes that eliminate the need for doctors. We bottle-neck things around doctors, and it's not a good way of doing things.

Many of us are alarmed at the skyrocketing cost of medical care, including patients, who are the consumers. However, medical malpractice is not the reason for these increasing costs.

I suppose one has a greater sense of intellectual degradation after an interview with a doctor than from any human experience.

The words of Christ are of more worth than the opinions of all the physicians in the universe.
