10 quotes on being a good doctor (2024)

Dear Sir/Mdm,

I would like to share these 10 quotes on being a good doctor
which I have collected:

1.All doctors treat, but a good doctor lets nature heal.

2.Physicians do a lot for a patient when they give his disease a name.

3.Nature, time and patience are the 3 great physicians. Bulgarian
proverb.

4.Foolish the doctor who despises the knowledge acquired by the ancients.
Hippocrates.

5.As we get involved in the emotional healing of others, we get healed
emotionally ourselves.

6.That physician will hardly be thought very careful of the health of
others who neglects his own. Galen.

7.The fact that your patient gets well does not prove that your diagnosis
was correct. Samuel J. Meltzer (1851 – 1921).

8.The great doctors all got their education off dirt pavements and
poverty – not marble floors and foundations. Martin H. Fischer (1879 –
1962).

9.To study the phenomenon of disease without books is to sail an
uncharted sea, while to study books without patients is not to go to sea
at all. Sir William Osler (1849-1919).

10.All knowledge attains its ethical value and its human significance
only by the human sense in which it is employed. Only a good man can be a
great physician. Hermann Nothnagel (1841 – 1905).

I hope that you like them.

Yours sincerely,
