“Врач не бог. Он может заблуждаться. Но ошибаться он не имеет права. Врач что сапер, лишь с той разницей, что когда ошибается сапер - он сам погибает, а когда ошибается врач - гибнет больной.”
Елена Ивановна Коронатова, Жизнь Нины Камышиной. По ту сторону рва

William Goldman
“His first afternoon he gained a pound. (Since he weighed but fifteen and since his mother gave birth two weeks early, the doctors weren't unduly concerned. 'It's because you came two weeks too soon,' they explained to Fezzik's mother. 'That explains it.' Actually, of course, it didn't explain anything, but whenever doctors are confused about something, which is really more frequently than any of us would do well to think about, they always snatch at something in the vicinity of the case and add, 'That explains it.' If Fezzik's mother had come late, they would have said, 'Well, you came late, that explains it.' Or 'Well, it was raining during devilery, this added weight is simply moisture, that explains it.')”
William Goldman, The Princess Bride

“You can make an appointment with a bad doctor only on a stretcher.”
