Rudolf Virchow
If popular medicine gave the people wisdom as well as knowledge, it would be the best protection for scientific and well-trained physicians.
Rudolf Virchow

Rudolf Virchow

Rudolf Virchow

Rudolf Virchow
It is the curse of humanity that it learns to tolerate even the most horrible situations by habituation, that it forgets the most shameful happenings in the daily shame of events, and that it can hardly understand when individuals aim to destroy this infamy.
Rudolf Virchow
