We've got water, hot water, we get fed, we've got air conditioning. They give people clothes, medicine, doctors. We've got everything we need. There's no problem.

The most exquisite pleasure in the practice of medicine comes from nudging a layman in the direction of terror, then bringing him back to safety again.

It's not what doctors do. Basically, it turns medicine upside down.

I always feel that young doctors are only too anxious too experiment. After they've whipped out all our teeth, and administered quantities of very peculiar glands, and removed bits of our insides, they then confess that nothing can be done for us. I really prefer the old-fashioned remedy of big black bottles of medicine. After all, one can always pour those down the sink.

It was bad, but people were very patient.

They should not clean out their kitchens or the medicine cabinet. Very few agencies are interested in recycled clothes from the attic.
