“First, it must be a pleasure to study the human body the most miraculous masterpiece of nature and to learn about the smallest vessel and the smallest fiber. But second and most important, the medical profession gives the opportunity to alleviate the troubles of the body, to ease the pain, to console a person who is in distress, and to lighten the hour of death of many a sufferer.” GivingFirstsHumansPersonsImportantBodyPainScienceOpportunityHoursPleasureStudyTroubleImportanceProfessionMedicalEaseSmallestDistressMasterpieceMiraculousHuman BodyVesselConsoleFiberSufferersAlleviateMedical Profession Author:Rudolf Virchow

“Medical thinking usually sees stress as highly disturbing but isolated events such as, for example, sudden unemployment, a marriage breakup, or the death of a loved one. These major events are potent sources of stress for many, but there are chronic daily stresses in people's lives that are more insidious and more harmful in their long-term biological consequences. Internally generated stresses take their toll without in any way seeming out of the ordinary.” PeopleThinkingWayLongPainTermEventsExampleSourceMajorsOrdinaryConsequenceStressMedicalTherapyLong TermBreakupInjuryLoved OnesIsolatedDeath Of A Loved OneUnemploymentDisturbingSeemingTollsInsidious Author:Gabor Mate
“Sensory experience does not offset the intense pain or pleasure we feel on a mental level; it may distract us, but doesn't overcome it. On the other hand, if we have peace of mind, even negative experiences do not upset us. Peace of mind is also good for our physical health. Medical experts have found that anger, hatred and fear eat into our immune system. Being calm and relaxed is better for our physical well-being.” IfsFeelsMindWellsMayDoeHandsPainFoundPleasureLevelsNegativeHatredOvercomingCalmMedicalIntenseWell BeingUpsetExpertsPeace Of MindSpiritual WisdomRelaxedCalmnessImmuneSensoryImmune SystemPhysical HealthStay CalmJoy And PainNegative ExperiencesIntense Pain Author:Dalai Lama
