Just having medicine isn't equivalent to medical care. You need the health systems, you need to create the social framework so that people feel safe.
Annie Lennox
Image
If you do nothing, if a mother doesn't come for care, if she breastfeeds her baby, the chances of the baby getting HIV are about 40%. So it's about the difference between 40% and zero. This is almost totally preventable. But it requires mothers coming for care and getting the medicines they need, and getting the education and support they need.
Annie Lennox

In the States, the HIV transmission from mother to child is almost completely preventable - the only mothers who really do transmit it are the ones who don't come in for care. If a mother in the United States or in Europe or in the UK comes to care and gets her medicines, she will have an HIV negative baby. Most people don't know that.

What a lay me down this is with two pink, two orange, two green, two white goodnights.

There's about 100 different cancers in a cancer cell. And so what we're finding out is, they're finding out ways to deal with one or two of the cancers there, with certain medicines. But they don't know why, if you have that cancer and I have that cancer, and I get the therapy and you get it, I don't live and you live. That - they don't know why.

Sometimes your medicine bottle has on it, shake well before using. That is what God has to do with some of His people. He has to shake them well before they are ever usable.
Vance Havner

There may perhaps be a new generation of doctors horrified by lacerations, infections, women who have douched with kitchen cleanser. What an irony it would be if fanatics continued to kill and yet it was the apathy and silence of the medical profession that most wounded the ability to provide what is, after all, a medical procedure.
Anna Quindlen
Image
God bless the physician who warms the speculum or holds your hand and looks into your eyes. Perhaps one subtext of the health caredebate 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

Let your food be your medicine, and your medicine be your food.
Hippocrates
Image
In many shamanic societies, if you came to a medicine person complaining of being disheartened, dispirited, or depressed, they would ask one of four questions: 'When did you stop dancing? When did you stop singing? When did you stop being enchanted by stories? When did you stop being comforted by the sweet territory of silence?'

Fasting is the first principle of medicine fast and see the strength of the spirit reveal itself.
Rumi

Without ducking responsibility, what's wrong with medicine today is that it is predicated on providing treatment, not on reducing suffering. Not on solving problems.
Vilayanur S. Ramachandran
Image
From the beginning of time, we've told stories, Shamans and Medicine People, and not to be pompous about it, but I feel like that is the lineage I take down and where I come from. There is magic to storytelling.

If a man’s house is full of medicine bottles, we infer the man is an invalid. But if his house is full of books, we conclude he is intelligent.
Vinoba Bhave
Image
The state of healthcare today is that we are busy in the practice of medicine vs. being in the science of medicine.
Vinod Khosla
Image
In the next 10 years, data science and software will do more for medicine than all of the biological sciences together.

Technology has a shadow side. It accounts for real progress in medicine, but has also hurt it in many ways, making it more impersonal, expensive and dangerous. The false belief that a safety net of sophisticated drugs and machines stretches below us, permitting risky or lazy lifestyle choices, has undermined our spirit of self-reliance.
Andrew Weil

I'm not against high-tech medicine. It has a secure place in the diagnosis and treatment of serious disease.
Andrew Weil
Image
I am not against all forms of high-tech medicine. Drugs and surgeries have a secure place in the treatment of serious health conditions. But modern American medicine treats almost every health condition as if it were an emergency.
Andrew Weil
Image
By keeping my hand in that, it's the way I keep learning. The main way you learn in medicine is by practicing and working with patients.
Andrew Weil
Image
Use vitamins in place of drugs. This takes some moxie to do, for we have been taught to be consumers of medicine. We have been taught that anything cheap and safe cannot possibly be effective.
Andrew Saul

Despite all our toil and progress, the art of medicine still falls somewhere between trout casting and spook writing.
Ben Hecht

Art is the lesser sister to medicine. It aims to heal.
