There is a Doctor in You.

Effective Cures Can be Cheap

I remember the former Dean of GSB, former Sec of Health, and now the CEO of a leading medical center, telling us that each one must be responsible for his own health, as he talked about Leadership in Health Care program.  That is true.  I read a book on cancer therapy that says that the greatest and best doctor is in us.

I did not realize that this is related to quote from Dr. Albert Schweitzer: ( 1875 - l965)

 The doctor in each patient

"Each of us carries his own doctor in him. They come to us not knowing the truth..  We are at our best when we give the doctor who resides in each patient a chance to work."


The doctor of tomorrow

This is attributed to Thomas Alba Edison who said:

"The doctor of the future will give no medicine, but will interest his patient in the care of the human frame, in diet and in the cause and prevention of disease."
