Seeing what was needed in the hospital firsthand - someone needs to come in and just be with patients, without trying to take their blood or change the bedpan, and to give them human-to-human touch.
Colleen Saidman
Image
The more choices we give patients affected by depression, the better we will serve them.
Carlos Santana
Image
People spending more of their own money on routine health care would make the system more competitive and transparent and restore the confidence between the patients and the doctors without government rationing.
Benjamin Carson
Image
Unfortunately, only a small number of patients with peptic ulcer are financially able to make a pet of an ulcer.
William James Mayo
Image
The main thing is that people see constant reports of break-ins on, on record systems and stolen financial data and social security records and so they'd think about you know what's going to prevent that happening with my medical records. And interestingly enough, patients are less worried about that than their doctors are.
William Davis
Image
The best practitioners give to their patients the least medicine.
Arthur Frederick Saunders
Image
Not a few patients, however, suffering from certain forms of mental disorder, regain a high degree of insight into their mental condition in what might be termed a flash of divine enlightenment.
Clifford Whittingham Beers
Image
Write as if you were dying. At the same time, assume you write for an audience consisting solely of terminal patients. That is, after all, the case. What would you begin writing if you knew you would die soon? What could you say to a dying person that would not enrage by its triviality?
Annie Dillard
Image
Operating-room errors hold a special terror for patients, if only because they seem like the most avoidable kind of complications. The occasional horror stories of patients who have the wrong leg removed or the wrong knee replaced generate the most headlines, as do tales of patients whose identities are mixed up entirely.
Jeffrey Kluger
Image
L.A. - talk about a cruel city: Patients are forcibly removed from hospitals.
Michael Moore
Image
Analysis helps patients put their unconscious procedural memories and actions into words and into context, so they can better understand them.
Norman Doidge
Image
It is ironic that in the same year we celebrate the 50th anniversary of the discovery of DNA, some would have us ban certain forms of DNA medical research. Restricting medical research has very real human consequences, measured in loss of life and tremendous suffering for patients and their families.
Michael J. Fox
Image
As economists have often pointed out, we pay doctors for quantity, not quality. As they point out less often, we also pay them as individuals, rather than as members of a team working together for their patients. Both practices have made for serious problems.
Atul Gawande
Image
Imagine a world in which medicine was oriented toward healing rather than disease, where doctors believed in the natural healing capacity of human beings and emphasized prevention above treatment. In such a world, doctors and patients would be partners working toward the same ends.
Andrew Weil
Image
My opinion is, that more harm than good is done by physicians and I am convinced, that, had I left my patients to nature, instead of prescribing drugs, more would have been saved.
Christoph Wilhelm Hufeland
Image
Doctors have throughout time made fortunes on killing their patients with their cures. The difference in psychiatry is that it is the death of the soul.
R. D. Laing
Image
...it seemed to me I was living in an insane asylum of my own making. I wnt about with all these fantastic figures: centaurs, nymphs, satyrs, gods and goddesses, as though they were patients and I was analyzing them. I read a Greek or Negro myth as if a lunatic were telling me his anamnesis.
Carl Jung
Image
Good physicians are rarely dispassionate. They agonize and self-doubt over patients.
Siddhartha Mukherjee
Image
Marijuana is beneficial to many patients
Joycelyn Elders

I am about to get involved with the biggest cancer hospital in Norway. They are building a fitness center to work with patients. I will be a consultant.

I begin each day with holy Mass, receiving Jesus hidden under the appearance of a simple piece of bread. Then I go out into the streets and I find the same Jesus hidden in the dying destitute, the AIDS patients, the lepers, the abandoned children, the hungry, and the homeless. It's the same Jesus.
Mother Teresa
Image
My father was a doctor. He was just a great guy, a gentle humanist, and an old-fashioned GP. He'd get up at three in the morning to see patients in different areas if they needed him.
Roselee Goldberg
Image
I have watched patients stand and gaze longingly toward the city they in all likelihood will never enter again. It means liberty and life it seems so near, and yet heaven is not further from hell
Nellie Bly
Image
As a nurse, we have the opportunity to heal the heart, mind, soul and body of our patients, their families and ourselves. They may not remember your name but they will never forget the way you made them feel.
