Medicine is not only a science; it is also an art. It does not consist of compounding pills and plasters; it deals with the very processes of life, which must be understood before they may be guided. ↗

What is laid down, ordered, factual is never enough to embrace the whole truth: life always spills over the rim of every cup. ↗
