“We cannot escape the fact that our well-being will never be a matter of pure self-sufficiency; it is deeply dependent on our interactions with the people around us, the people with whom we share a “room”—our world.”
― Sandro Galea, Well: What We Need to Talk About When We Talk About Health

“Clinical medicine requires, I firmly believe, a different approach than the application of reductionist analysis. No simple cookbook or set of guidelines can possibly encompass the complexity of dealing with individual patients and their illness. Thus, medicine must remain an art and a science, and the doctors must exert a human understanding of each individual patient to obtain the best results.”
― Bernard Patten, Neurology Rounds with the Maverick: Adventures with Patients from the Golden Age of Medicine
