Medicine can only cure curable disease, and then not always

The best cure for drunkenness is whilst sober, to observe a drunken person

The physician should not treat the disease but the patient who is suffering from it

It is far more important to know what person the disease has than what disease the person has.

The superior doctor prevents sickness; The mediocre doctor attends to impending sickness; The inferior doctor treats actual sickness;

We want to cure this damn disease.
