• From inability to let well alone; from too much zeal for the new and contempt for what is old; from putting knowledge before wisdom, science before 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, deliver us.

  Sir Robert Hutchison, 1er Baronet

• La teoría de la medicina, por lo tanto, presenta lo que es útil en el pensamiento, pero no indica cómo debe aplicarse en la práctica: el modo de funcionamiento de estos principios. La teoría, una vez dominada, nos proporciona un cierto tipo de conocimiento. Así decimos, por ejemplo, que hay tres formas de fiebres y nueve constituciones. La práctica de la medicina no es el trabajo que realiza el médico, sino la rama del conocimiento médico que, una vez adquirida, permite formarse una opinión sobre la que basar el plan de tratamiento adecuado.

• The fact that the patients were complex human beings with a rich life beyond the hospital never really sank into the consciousness of the residents. Because they had no rich lives beyond the hospital, they assumed no one else did, either. In the end, what they lacked was not medical knowledge but ordinary life experience.

• Medical knowledge and technical savvy are biodegradable. The sort of medicine that was practiced in Boston or New York or Atlanta fifty years ago would be as strange to a medical student or intern today as the ceremonial dance of a !Kung San tribe would seem to a rock festival audience in Hackensack.

• I’ve been doing this a long time, and I’ve come to learn that predictions don’t mean much. Too much lies outside the realm of medical knowledge. A lot of what happens next comes down to you and your specific genetics, your attitude. No, there’s nothing we can do to stop the inevitable, but that’s not the point. The point is that you should try to make the most of the time you have left.

  Nicholas Sparks
