Quote

As doctors, we are not trained to communicate and understand the power of our words as they relate to a patient's ability and desire to survive.

We have so many words for states of the mind, and so few for states of the body.

It's a damn poor mind that can only think of one way to spell a word.

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

Parents, teachers, clergy and physicians change lives with their words. It is hypnotic for a child or patient to hear an authority figure's words. As I am always sharing, 'wordswordswords' can become 'swordswordswords,' and we can kill or cure with either words or swords.

Words can make the illness a subject I can master, and not one that one simply emotes over.

Words are most malignant, the most treacherous possession of mankind. They are saturated with the sorrows of all time.

Consciousness is a disease.

You can stroke people with words.

The last time somebody said, 'I find I can write much better with a word processor.', I replied, 'They used to say the same thing about drugs.'
