Quote by Aude Mermilliod

“Medical textbooks never talk about the pain that's caused by anything that doctors do... And many doctors think that the pain is justified "if it's for the patient's good." That is never true. The least we can do, as healers, is everything in our power not to cause pain.”

“Vince Neil once told me 'You look down on people.' My wife once told me something along the same lines, 'You look down on people who were born with silver spoons.' She's right. I DO look down on those people. I look down on how superficial they are. On the way they don't even register suffering. It's as if other people's pain doesn't exist. But it does exist. You can't cut yourself off from the pain without losing a lot of good things that go with it. All the lines etched into an old person's hands and face, every one of those lines tells a story. Just looking at them, letting yourself see their beauty, that's half the work. All their hopes, all their fears, all that motivates them, or maybe makes them wish they didn't exist, those are things to write about.”
