Wherever the Art of Medicine Is Loved There Is Also a Love of Humanity Translated to Spanish

Wherever the art of medicine is loved, there also is beloved of humanity. ~ Hippocrates

Medicine is the science of caring for a patient, managing the diagnosis, prognosis, prevention, treatment, palliation of their injury or disease, and promoting their wellness.

Quotes [edit]

• Change in our views seems to be a miracle, and in no science has the proverb: "Much arises which has already perished, and what is now honored is already declining," attained such extended verification as in the very science of medicine. Fifty-fifty and so in this aforementioned scientific discipline has been proven the truth of that other saying: "As long at man struggles he errs". To err in its struggles after the truth is, however, according to the resigned expression of Lessing, the portion of humanity, and absolute truth is of God alone.
  • Johann Hermann Baas, Outlines of the History of Medicine and the Medical Profession (1889) Tr. East. E. Handerson

• Medicine is a science which hath been... more professed than laboured, and yet more laboured than avant-garde: the labour having been, in my judgment, rather in circumvolve than in progression. For I observe much iteration simply small addition. Information technology considereth causes of diseases, with the occasions or impulsions; the diseases themselves, with the accidents; and the cures with the preservations. The deficiencies which I think good to note being a few of many, and those such every bit are of a more than open up and manifest nature, I will enumerate, and not identify.
  • Francis Salary, The Proficience and Advancement of Learning Divine and Human, 2nd Volume to the King (1605) English Tr. Francis Headlam, translation revised by James Spedding, The Philosophical Works of Francis Salary (1905) p. 105

• Our world is i of terrible contradictions. Plenty of food merely one billion people get hungry. Lavish lifestyles for a few, just poverty for likewise many others. Huge advances in medicine while mothers die everyday in childbirth . . . Billions spent on weapons to kill people instead of keeping them rubber.
  • Ban Ki-moon, Watchtower ONLINE LIBRARY.

• I find the medicine worse than the malady.
  • Beaumont and Fletcher, Love'due south Cure (c. 1612–13; revised c. 1625; published 1647), Act Iii, scene 2.

• MEDICINE, n. A stone flung down the Bowery to kill a domestic dog in Broadway.
  • Ambrose Bierce, The Devil's Dictionary (1911).

• Medicine, guarded too by preliminary impediments, and frightful medusa-heads of quackery, which deter many generous souls from entering, is of the half-clear professions, and does not much invite the ardent kinds of ambition. The intellect required for medicine might exist wholly man, and indeed should past all rules be,—the profession of the Human Healer being radically a sacred one and connected with the highest priesthoods, or rather being itself the effect and pinnacle of all priesthoods, and divinest conquests of intellect here beneath. Every bit will appear one 24-hour interval, when men have off their erstwhile monastic and ecclesiastic spectacles, and wait with eyes once more! In essence the Physician'south chore is always heroic, eminently man: simply in practice most unluckily at present we find information technology also become in good role beaverish,—yielding a money-result alone. And what of it is non beaverish,—does non that too go mainly to ingenious talking, publishing of yourself, ingratiating of yourself; a partly human exercise or waste of intellect, and, alas, a partly vulpine ditto;—making the in one case sacred... Human being Healer, more incommunicable for us than ever!
  • Thomas Carlyle, Stump Orator (1850)

• History is replete with examples of what happens when any group of government exercise not have to answer to empirical evidence but are complimentary to ascertain truth as they meet fit. None of the examples has a happy ending. Why should it exist otherwise with therapy?
  • Robert Todd Carroll, The Skeptic's Dictionary, entry on "repressed retentivity therapy (RMT)".

• The md of the hereafter will requite no medicine, but will instruct his patient in the care of the human frame, in diet and in the crusade and prevention of affliction.
  • This has been reprinted many times with slight variations on the wording; it is part of a much larger quote directly from Edison published in 1903:

Xix hundred and 3 will bring great advances in surgery, in the report of bacteria, in the knowledge of the cause and prevention of disease. Medicine is played out. Every new discovery of bacteria shows the states all the more convincingly that we have been wrong and that the meg tons of stuff we have taken was all useless.
The doctor of the future will give no medicine, but will instruct his patient in the intendance of the human being frame, in diet and in the cause and prevention of affliction.
They may even discover the germ of onetime age. I don't predict it, just information technology might exist by the sacrifice of animal life human life could be prolonged.
Surgery, diet, antiseptics — these three are the vital things of the future in preserving the health of humanity. There were never so many able, agile minds at work on the problems of diseases as now, and all their discoveries are tending to the simple truth — that y'all can't improve on nature.

Of course they can't laissez passer written examinations...No medical schoolhouse has thought information technology proper to gamble large existing classes and larger receipts by introducing more than rigorous standards".

  • Peter Fisher, cited in Awake! magazine, 2000, 10/22, article: Better Health—A New Direction?

• Medicine is founded upon the nature and constitution of human, physically and psychically, in all his phases of being, and must necessarily be related to all the sciences, with scarcely an exception; since man is a microcosm of the universe, and science and philosophy are exponents of his relation thereto. This is the foundation of Aristotle's epigrammatic phrase: "The philosopher should stop with medicine; the physician embark with philosophy."
  • David Allyn Gorton, The History of Medicine, Philosophical and Critical (1910) Vol. 1

• From inability to let well alone; from also much zeal for the new and contempt for what is quondam; from putting noesis before wisdom, science earlier fine art and cleverness before common sense; from treating patients as cases; and from making the cure of the disease more grievous than the endurance of the same, Good Lord, evangelize united states of america.
  • Sir Robert Hutchison, 20th century physician, British Medical Journal (1953), ane: 671.

• Medicine was the foster-mother of Chemical science, considering it has to exercise with the training of drugs and the detection of poisons; of Botany, because information technology enabled the physician to recognize medicinal herbs; of Comparative Beefcake and Physiology, because the man who studied Human Anatomy and Physiology for purely medical purposes was led to extend his studies to the rest of the animal globe.

• Things are not going well for me. My chef at the Charité strongly disapproves of women students and took this means of showing it. About a hundred men (no women except myself) went round the wards today, and when we were all assembled before him to accept our names written down, he called and named all the students except me, and and so airtight the book. I stood frontward upon this, and said quietly, "Et moi aussi, monsieur." [And me, Sir.] He turned on me sharply, and cried, "Vous, vous n'êtes ni homme ni femme; je ne veux pas inscrire vôtre nom."

• Before the eighteenth century the demographic impact of the profession of medicine remained negligible. Relatively few persons could afford to pay a doctor for his often very expensive services; and for every case in which the doctor's attendance really fabricated a difference between life and death, there were other instances in which even the all-time available professional services made little difference to the course of the disease, or actually hindered recovery. ...Only with the eighteenth century did the situation brainstorm to change; and information technology was non until after 1850 or so that the practice of medicine and the organization of medical services brainstorm to brand large-scale differences in human survival rates and population growth.

• One should distinguish iii groups of medicines — life-givers, preservers, and restorers. Allow u.s.a. leave for Our enemies the fourth group — the destroyers. Let u.s.a. plow our attention to the life-givers, because they human activity outset of all upon the nervous arrangement. The nerve centers and secretions of the glands indicate the future development of medicine. Through these domains humanity will detect the finest energy, which for simplification we notwithstanding call spirit. The discovery of the emanations of this free energy will be the next step in the development of culture.
  • Morya, Agni Yoga, (1929) 42.

• It is right to want to explore the foundations of Vedic medicine. In spite of the after changes, the essence of the Vedic medicine remains useful. To each searching investigator the very logic of this medicine provides new perceptions of the properties of plant extracts. Instead of a rough listing of plants and other products of nature, precise information about the properties of the various parts of plants and the conditions of their use leads to more verbal conclusions. Attention must also be paid to the conditions of cosmic chemistry. Coming from the almost ancient times, these conclusions can bring joy to the present-day observer.
  • Morya, Agni Yoga, (1929) 585.

• Scientists speaking about the subconscious, about cerebral and nervous reflexes, about animal magnetism, about telepathy, certainly speak of one and the same thing — of psychic energy. But this term is somehow not uttered. These snatches of knowledge beg to be united into ane current, but narrow - mindedness prevents the proper relating of these various fragments of knowledge. Pure scientific discipline is non afraid of alleyways. Attending is being paid now to the study of secretions, and perchance this particular direction, the investigation of glandular secretions, volition call attention to the existence of other secretions. Glandular secretions have only recently attracted attending, although ancient medicine pointed out the importance of secretions long ago. This affair was avoided, although all of nature proclaimed information technology. Is it possible that dialectics and materialism are simply limitations? The evolution of consciousness brings us into closer contact with the unabridged mighty energy. Is information technology possible to recall as before, with only one-half 1's brain, not caring about the locked-upward treasures?
  • Morya, Agni Yoga, (1929) 601.

• The popular medical formulation of morality that goes back to Ariston of Chios, "virtue is the health of the soul," would take to be changed to become useful, at least to read: "your virtue is the wellness of your soul." For in that location is no wellness as such, and all attempts to define a matter that way take been wretched failures. Even the determination of what is healthy for your torso depends on your goal, your horizon, your energies, your impulses, your errors, and above all on the ideals and phantasms of your soul. Thus there are innumerable healths of the body; and the more we let the unique and incomparable to raise its head again, and the more nosotros abjure the dogma of the "equality of men," the more must the concept of a normal wellness, along with a normal diet and the normal class of an affliction, be abandoned past medical men. But then would the fourth dimension have come to reflect on the health and illness of the soul, and to notice the peculiar virtue of each homo in the health of his soul.
  • Friedrich Nietzsche, The Gay Science, § 120 "Health of the Soul"

• Finally, the bang-up question would yet remain whether we tin can really dispense with disease—even for the sake of our virtue—and whether our thirst for knowledge and self-knowledge in particular does not require the ill soul as much as the good for you, and whether, in brief, the volition to wellness lone, is not a prejudice, cowardice, and perhaps a bit of very subtle barbarism and backwardness.

• Indeed, we may regard information technology equally an axiom, that the cognition which is anywhere possessed of the art of healing, is the measure of the refinement and civilisation to which the people have attained. Human being is civilized past virtue of social relations; and refinement is the condign divested from grossness, vulgarity, and the evil manners which are characteristic and incident to a living for one'southward self lone. Selfishness is savagery; and a state of social club in which self-involvement is the ruling chemical element is hardly however reclaimed from the state of barbarism. It is of footling avail to appeal to skill in mechanics, engineering, and other attainments in the plane of material evolution. These are not adequate proof of spiritual advocacy. Kindly sentiment toward others, sincere regard for their welfare, clemency in will and human action, make the only real civilisation and civilization. The art and technique of healing proceed from these qualities, and cannot flourish autonomously from them.
