Health

So many people spend their health gaining wealth, and then have to spend their wealth to regain their health.
- A.J. Reb Materi

Medicine is the one place where all the show is stripped off the human drama. You, as doctors, will be in a position to see the human race stark naked - not only physically, but mentally and morally as well.
- Martin H. Fischer, M.D., 1879 - 1962

When it comes to your health, I recommend frequent doses of that rare commodity among Americans - common sense.
- Vincent Askey

God bless the physician who warms the speculum or holds your hand and looks into your eyes. Perhaps one subtext of the health care debate is a yen to be treated like a whole person, not just an eye, an ear, a nose or a throat. A yen to be human again, on the part of patient and doctor alike.
- Anna Quindlen

No families take so little medicine as those of doctors, except those of apothecaries.
- Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr, 1809 - 1894
