    “As there is a use in medicine for poisons, so the world cannot move without rogues.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “He said that private practice in medicine ought to be put down by law. When I asked him why, he said that private doctors were ignorant licensed murders.”

    “I have noticed that doctors who fail in the practice of medicine have a tendency to seek one another’s company and aid in consultation. A doctor who cannot take out your appendix properly will recommend you to a doctor who will be unable to remove your tonsils with success.”
