Doctor -christiansquoting.org.uk

Doctor to patient: I have good news and bad news - the good news is that you are not a hypochondriac.

A patient going to a doctor for his first visit was asked, "And whom did you consult before coming to me?" "Only the village druggist," was the answer. "And what sort of foolish advice did that numbskull give you?" asked the doctor, his tone and manner denoting his contempt for the advice of the layman. "Oh," replied his patient, with no malice aforethought, "he told me to come and see you."

Honour physicians for their services, for the Lord created them; for their gift of healing comes from the Most High and they are rewarded by the King. .... The Lord created medicines out of the earth and the sensible will not despise them. .... And he gave skill to human beings that he might be glorified in his marvelous works. By them the physician heals and takes away pain; the pharmacist makes a mixture from them. God's works will never be finished and from him health spreads over all the earth.My child, when you are ill, do not delay but pray to the Lord and he will heal you. Give up your faults and direct your hands rightly ... Then give physician his place for the Lord created him; do not let him leave you, for you may need him. There may come a time when recovery lies in the hands of the physicians, for they too pray to the Lord that he grant them success in diagnosis and in healing for the sake of preserving life.- -- Ecclesiasticus 38
