I'm not feeling very well - I need a doctor immediately. Ring the nearest golf course.
Groucho Marx
Never go to a doctor whose office plants have died.
Erma Bombeck
Doctors are just the same as lawyers; the only difference is that lawyers merely rob you, whereas doctors rob you and kill you too.
Anton Chekhov
A physician's physiology has much the same relation to his power of healing as a cleric's divinity has to his power of influencing conduct.

The doctor sees all the weakness of mankind; the lawyer all the wickedness, the theologian all the stupidity.
Arthur Schopenhauer
Whenever a doctor cannot do good, he must be kept from doing harm.
Hippocrates
They certainly give very strange names to diseases.
Plato
Modern medicine is a negation of health. It isn't organized to serve human health, but only itself, as an institution. It makes more people sick than it heals.
Ivan Illich
Doctors will have more lives to answer for in the next world than even we generals.

Anton Chekhov
Medicine sometimes snatches away health, sometimes gives it.
Ovid

Erma Bombeck
When I was born I was so ugly the doctor slapped my mother.
Rodney Dangerfield
The best doctor is the one you run to and can't find.
Denis Diderot
Illness is the doctor to whom we pay most heed; to kindness, to knowledge, we make promise only; pain we obey.

Marcel Proust
In the name of Hypocrites, doctors have invented the most exquisite form of torture ever known to man: survival.

Zoe Saldana
I was going to have cosmetic surgery until I noticed that the doctor's office was full of portraits by Picasso.
Rita Rudner
All sorts of computer errors are now turning up. You'd be surprised to know the number of doctors who claim they are treating pregnant men.
Isaac Asimov
I'm strongly for a patient Bill of Rights. Decisions ought to be made by doctors, not accountants.

You may not be able to read a doctor's handwriting and prescription, but you'll notice his bills are neatly typewritten.
Earl Wilson
When I told my doctor I couldn't afford an operation, he offered to touch-up my X-rays.
Henny Youngman

Martha Beck
It is reasonable to expect the doctor to recognize that science may not have all the answers to problems of health and healing.
Norman Cousins
I'm 86 and my doctor used to tell me to slow down - at least he did until he dropped dead.

If you look at the human condition today, not everyone is well fed, has access to good medical care, or the physical basics that provide for a healthy and a happy life.
Ralph Merkle
America has the best doctors, the best nurses, the best hospitals, the best medical technology, the best medical breakthrough medicines in the world. There is absolutely no reason we should not have in this country the best health care in the world.
Bill Frist
The art of medicine was to be properly learned only from its practice and its exercise.
Thomas Sydenham
The doctors x-rayed my head and found nothing.
