Doctor

Famous quotes containing the word doctor:

    When a doctor does go wrong he is the first of criminals. He has nerve and he has knowledge.
    Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859–1930)

    A doctor, like anyone else who has to deal with human beings, each of them unique, cannot be a scientist; he is either, like the surgeon, a craftsman, or, like the physician and the psychologist, an artist.... This means that in order to be a good doctor a man must also have a good character, that is to say, whatever weaknesses and foibles he may have, he must love his fellow human beings in the concrete and desire their good before his own.
    —W.H. (Wystan Hugh)

    The doctor will take you now. He is burly and clean;
    Listening, like lover or worshiper, bends at your heart.
    Robert Penn Warren (1905–1989)
