“Everyone works in the service of man. We doctors work directly on man himself... The great mystery of man is Jesus: 'He who visits a sick person, helps me,' Jesus said... Just as the priest can touch Jesus, so do we touch Jesus in the bodies of our patients... We have opportunities to do good that the priest doesn't have. Our mission is not finished when medicines are no longer of use. We must bring the soul to God; our word has some authority... Catholic doctors are so necessary!” MenPersonsSaidSoulHelpingUseBodyInspirationFaithOpportunityJesusMysteryAuthorityDoctorsSickCatholicMedicinePatientMissionsFinishedChristian InspirationalHelp MePriestsOur WordsSick Person Author:Gianna Beretta Molla
“I hate doctors! They'll do anything... to keep you coming to them. They'll sell their souls. What's worse, they'll sell yours, and you never know it till one day you find yourself in hell.” KnowsSoulHateHellOne DayDoctorsI HateSellsFinding Yourself Author:Eugene O'Neill
“Someone who has thought rationally and deeply about how the body works is likely to arrive at better ideas about how to be healthy than someone who has followed a hunch. Medicine presupposes a hierarchy between the confusion the layperson will be in about what is wrong with him, and the more accurate knowledge available to doctors reasoning logically. At the heart of Epicureanism is the thought that we are as bad at answering the question "What will make me happy?" as "What will make me healthy?" Our souls do not spell out their troubles.” HeartIdeasSoulBodyTroubleHealthyDoctorsMedicineAvailableConfusionReasoningSpellsAccurateHierarchyMake Me HappyHunchesEpicureanismBody Work Author:Alain de Botton
