A physician who treats himself has a fool for a patient.

The good physician treats the disease; the great physician treats the patient who has the disease.

Care more for the individual patient than for the special features of the disease. . . . Put yourself in his place . . . The kindly word, the cheerful greeting, the sympathetic look -- these the patient understands.

It is much more important to know what sort of a patient has a disease than what sort of a disease a patient has.

But the thing that we?re renowned for is patient care.

Depending on your culture, you can make physician which treats you feel himself like a veterinarian.
