If medical doctors can be sued for malpractice, shouldn't financial professionals practice under the same safeguard? ~ Robert Kiyosaki
Medical Practice quotes by Robert Kiyosaki
Harm reduction is often perceived as being inimical to the ultimate purpose of "curing" addiction - that is, of helping addicts transcend their habits and to heal. People regard it as "coddling" addicts, as enabling them to continue their destructive ways. It's also considered to be the opposite of abstinence, which many regard as the only legitimate goal of addiction treatment. Such a distinction is artificial. The issue in medical practice is always how best to help a patient. If a cure is possible and probable without doing greater harm, then cure is the objective. When it isn't - and in most chronic medical conditions cure is not the expected outcome - the physician's role is to help the patient with the symptoms and to reduce the harm done by the disease process.

In rheumatoid arthritis, for example, one aims to prevent joint inflammation and bone destruction and, in all events, to reduce pain. In incurable cancers we aim to prolong life, if that can be achieved without a loss of life quality, and also to control symptoms. In other words, harm reduction means making the lives of afflicted human beings more bearable, more worth living. That is also the goal of harm reduction in the context of addiction. Although hardcore drug addiction is much more than a disease, the harm reduction model is essential to its treatment. Given our lack of a systematic, evidencebased approach to addiction, in many cases it's futile to dream of a cure.

So long as s ~ Gabor Mate
Medical Practice quotes by Gabor Mate
In forty years of medical practice, I have found only two types of non-pharmaceutical 'therapy' to be vitally important for patients with chronic neurological diseases: music and gardens. ~ Oliver Sacks
Medical Practice quotes by Oliver Sacks
Were I disposed to consider the comparative merit of each of them [facts or theories in medical practice], I should derive most of the evils of medicine from supposed facts, and ascribe all the remedies which have been uniformly and extensively useful, to such theories as are true. Facts are combined and rendered useful only by means of theories, and the more disposed men are to reason, the more minute and extensive they become in their observations ~ Benjamin Rush
Medical Practice quotes by Benjamin Rush
Homeopathy is the safest and more reliable approach to ailments and has withstood the assaults of established medical practice for over 100 years ~ Yehudi Menuhin
Medical Practice quotes by Yehudi Menuhin
F1s can only prescribe on in-patient drug cards and TTOs . The GMC's Good Medical Practice ( 2013 ) guidance states you should avoid providing medical care to yourself or anyone with whom you have a close personal relationship . ~ Oxford Handbook
Medical Practice quotes by Oxford Handbook
I do not practice clinical medicine and hence do not treat individual patients. My career is in medical science. ~ Robert Jarvik
Medical Practice quotes by Robert Jarvik
All the same I fear what happens when we expand the terrain of medical practice to include actively assisting people with speeding their death. I am less worried about the abuse of these powers than I am about dependence on them. ~ Atul Gawande
Medical Practice quotes by Atul Gawande
Time and time again, throughout the history of medical practice, what was once considered as "scientific" eventually becomes regarded as "bad practice". ~ David Stewart
Medical Practice quotes by David Stewart
The trends speak to an unavoidable truth. Society's future will be challenged by zoonotic viruses, a quite natural prediction, not least because humanity is a potent agent of change, which is the essential fuel of evolution. Notwithstanding these assertions, I began with the intention of leaving the reader with a broader appreciation of viruses: they are not simply life's pathogens. They are life's obligate partners and a formidable force in nature on our planet. As you contemplate the ocean under a setting sun, consider the multitude of virus particles in each milliliter of seawater: flying over wilderness forestry, consider the collective viromes of its living inhabitants. The stunnig number and diversity of viruses in our environment should engender in us greater awe that we are safe among these multitudes than fear that they will harm us.

Personalized medicine will soon become a reality and medical practice will routinely catalogue and weigh a patient's genome sequence. Not long thereafter one might expect this data to be joined by the patient's viral and bacterial metagenomes: the patient's collective genetic identity will be recorded in one printout. We will doubtless discover some of our viral passengers are harmful to our health, while others are protective. But the appreciation of viruses that I hope you have gained from these pages is not about an exercise in accounting. The balancing of benefit versus threat to humanity is a fruitless task. The viral met ~ Michael G. Cordingley
Medical Practice quotes by Michael G. Cordingley
A patient suffering with cancer of the throat was informed of a new X-ray machine that would cure his condition. This man could neither read nor write, nor was he informed about any of the instruments or procedures of medical practice. When he first sat down in the doctor's office and received into his mouth a thermometer with which the doctor sought to take his temperature, he believed he was undergoing X-ray treatment. The doctor, alert to the practices of psychology, recognized this, and after leaving the thermometer in the patient's mouth for ten minutes, excused him and told him to return in two days. Three weeks of treatment with a thermometer cured this patient's cancerous condition! Obviously, it wasn't the thermometer that did it. It was Faith! ~ Uell S. Andersen
Medical Practice quotes by Uell S. Andersen
My views of what is missionary duty are not so contracted as those whose ideal is a dumpy sort of man with a Bible under his arm," Livingstone explained. "I have labored in bricks and mortar, at the forge and at the carpenter's bench, as well as in preaching and medical practice. I feel that I am 'not my own.' I am serving Christ when shooting a buffalo for my men, or taking an astronomical observation. ~ Jay Milbrandt
Medical Practice quotes by Jay Milbrandt
During the investigation, he tried a brief defense of his medical practice on the grounds that he had once assisted a vivisectionist in Tampa, Florida; and when this failed, he settled down to sullen grumbling about the Jews, earthly vanity, and quoted bits from Ecclesiastes, Alfonso Liguori, and Pope Pius IX, in answer to any accusatory question. ~ William Gaddis
Medical Practice quotes by William Gaddis
The world doesn't need more smart doctors, it needs more warm and wise doctors. Be the wisdom yourself - be the warmth yourself, and be the doctor that the doctors have forgotten to be, for it is time to save medicine, to save humanity. ~ Abhijit Naskar
Medical Practice quotes by Abhijit Naskar
Established a thriving medical practice and was a fixture at our high school sports games. He never spoke to any of us of the horrors he had seen. When one of his sons wore as a casual jacket one of Doc Auld's Army coats with the major's insignia still attached, I remember thinking, ~ Tom Brokaw
Medical Practice quotes by Tom Brokaw
Narrow behaviourist thinking
permeates political and social policy and medical practice, the
childrearing advice dispensed by "parenting experts" and academic
discourse. We keep trying to change people's behaviours without a full
understanding of how and why those behaviours arise. "Inner causes
are not the proper domain of psychology," writes Roy Wise, an expert
on the psychology of addiction, and a prominent investigator in the
National Institute on Drug Abuse in the U.S.A.3 This statement seems
astonishing, coming from a psychologist. In reality, there can be no
understanding of human beings, let alone of addicted human beings,
without looking at "inner causes," tricky as those causes can be to pin
down at times. Behaviours, especially compulsive behaviours, are
often the active representations of emotional states and of special
kinds of brain functioning.
As we have seen, the dominant emotional states and the brain
patterns of human beings are shaped by their early environment.
Throughout their lifetimes, they are in dynamic interaction with various
social and emotional milieus. If we are to help addicts, we must strive
to change not them but their environments. These are the only things
we can change. Transformation of the addict must come from within
and the best we can do is to encourage it. Fortunately, there is much
that we can do. ~ Gabor Mate
Medical Practice quotes by Gabor Mate
By pretending that convention is Nature, that disobeying a personal prohibition is a medical illness, they establish themselves as agents of social control and at the same time disguise their punitive interventions in the semantic and social trappings of medical practice. ~ Thomas Szasz
Medical Practice quotes by Thomas Szasz
For too long nurses have been undervalued, restricted in what they could do, with too few career opportunities in clinical practice. For far too long, nurses have endured a pay system that has held them back - both professionally as well as financially. ~ John Hutton
Medical Practice quotes by John Hutton
The Christian's Bible is a drug store. Its contents remain the same, but the medical practice changes. ~ Mark Twain
Medical Practice quotes by Mark Twain
In my rather brief medical practice,' said David modestly, 'I found that people spend their whole lives imagining they are about to die. Their only consolation is that one day they're right. ~ Edward St. Aubyn
Medical Practice quotes by Edward St. Aubyn
Medical practice is not knitting and weaving and the labor of the hands, but it must be inspired with soul and be filled with understanding and equipped with the gift of keen observation ... ~ Maimonides
Medical Practice quotes by Maimonides
I have come to see that the benefits produced by eating a plant-based diet are far more diverse and impressive than any drug or surgery used in medical practice. Heart diseases, cancers, diabetes, stroke and hypertension, arthritis, cataracts, Alzheimer's disease, impotence and all sorts of other chronic diseases can be largely prevented. These diseases, which generally occur with aging and tissue degeneration, kill the majority of us before our time. ~ T. Colin Campbell
Medical Practice quotes by T. Colin Campbell
In spite of the direction his medical practice had taken in later years, he'd always remained less interested in appearance than those things a person couldn't see: kindness and integrity, humor and sensibility. ~ Nicholas Sparks
Medical Practice quotes by Nicholas Sparks
The important question isn't how to keep bad physicians from harming patient; it's how to keep good physicians from harming patients. Medical malpractice suits are a remarkably ineffective remedy.
(In reference to a Harvard Medical Practice Study) ... fewer than 2 percent of the patients who had received substandard care ever filed suit. Conversely, only a small minority among patients who did sue had in fact been victims of negligent care. And a patient's likelihood of winning a suit depended primarily on how poor his or her outcome was, regardless of whether that outcome was caused by disease or unavoidable risks of care. The deeper problem with medical malpractice is that by demonizing errors they prevent doctors from acknowledging & discussing them publicly. The tort system makes adversaries of patient & physician, and pushes each other to offer a heavily slanted version of events.
~ Atul Gawande
Medical Practice quotes by Atul Gawande
great family medical practice in the sky. ~ Stephen King
Medical Practice quotes by Stephen King
Fort Smith, being the place of my longest stay, was the scene of my largest medical practice. ~ Ernest Thompson Seton
Medical Practice quotes by Ernest Thompson Seton
When I worked in a medical practice, our practice provided the insurance. When I retired the next day to run for public office to run for Congress, I had to pay first dollar. ~ Phil Roe
Medical Practice quotes by Phil Roe
Physicians do not systematically prescribe placebos to their patients. Hence they have no way of comparing the effects of the drugs they prescribe to placebos. When they prescribe a treatment and it works, their natural tendency is to attribute the cure to the treatment. But there are thousands of treatments that have worked in clinical practice throughout history. Powdered stone worked. So did lizard's blood, and crocodile dung, and pig's teeth and dolphin's genitalia and frog's sperm. Patients have been given just about every ingestible - though often indigestible - substance imaginable. They have been 'purged, puked, poisoned, sweated, and shocked', and if these treatments did not kill them, they may have made them better. ~ Irving Kirsch
Medical Practice quotes by Irving Kirsch
Enlightenment is cumulative. You become a little more enlightened each day as you practice yoga and Buddhism. ~ Frederick Lenz
Medical Practice quotes by Frederick Lenz
If you dread ending up in the bunker, practice these tricky out-of-the-sand shots until you master them. Think of it as insurance - we all have learned that, once you know you can make that shot easily, you will seldom need to! ~ Lorii Myers
Medical Practice quotes by Lorii Myers
It's not failure, it's practice ~ Brigitta Moon
Medical Practice quotes by Brigitta Moon
With the air of long practice, Holmes waited until Milo raised his mug to his lips, and then reached up to whack his elbow. Coffee splattered down his front. She smiled her black-cat smile.
"When we're finished here, I'll fetch you a bleach pen and a new shirt," Peterson said to a sputtering Milo. ~ Brittany Cavallaro
Medical Practice quotes by Brittany Cavallaro
To babble unintelligible prayers, to read masses, to recite rosaries, to practice ceremonies of religious worship empty of meaning, this is the conduct of the dead. Man tries to turn completely into an object, to subject himself entirely to the rule of what is alien. Such service is called devoutness. PHARISEES! ~ Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
Medical Practice quotes by Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
I think America is really in denial about the degree to which residents, particularly foreign medical graduates, man the county hospitals of this country, and but for their services, I'm not sure how exactly we could manage. ~ Abraham Verghese
Medical Practice quotes by Abraham Verghese
The medical literature on the causes of food poisoning is full of euphemisms and dry scientific terms: coliform levels, aerobic plate counts, sorbitol, MacConkey agar, and so on. Behind them lies a simple explanation for why eating a hamburger can now make you seriously ill: There is shit in the meat. ~ Eric Schlosser
Medical Practice quotes by Eric Schlosser
Prayer wasn't a familiar practice in my life. --Titus Ray, Chapter 2 ~ Luana Ehrlich
Medical Practice quotes by Luana Ehrlich
Indubitably, magic is one of the subtlest and most difficult of the sciences and arts. There is more opportunity for errors of comprehension, judgment and practice than in any other branch of physics. ~ Aleister Crowley
Medical Practice quotes by Aleister Crowley
Growth and fulfillment come from abandoning old practices and embracing new ones. ~ Brian Tracy
Medical Practice quotes by Brian Tracy
The process of applying Mindfulness Burnout Prevention (MBP) in the workplace or any environment has a much more far-reaching effect than simply accessing equanimity throughout the vicissitudes of life. Continuous learning helps us to stay youthful, sharpen our mental faculties and wire new neural connections in our brain (making us better equipped to accomplish); it is also a sign of humility. ~ Christopher Dines
Medical Practice quotes by Christopher Dines
If freedom means anything at all, it is the right to primacy in regard to sexuality, reproduction, medical care and death. ~ Jacob M. Appel
Medical Practice quotes by Jacob M. Appel
Cookie dropped her purse and tried to catch it midair. In the process, she knocked over a vase. When she lunged for the vase, she slipped on the tile and overturned an entire table. A lovely handblown piece of glass flew in my direction, and all I could think as I caught it was, Really? Again? We were going to have to practice muscle control. ~ Darynda Jones
Medical Practice quotes by Darynda Jones
Since I have an aversion to movies in which people say grace at the dinner table (not to the practice but to how movies use it to establish the moral strength of a household), the opening night montage of Sunday-night supper in one home after another in Waxahachie, Texas in 1935 a whole community saying grace made me expect the worst. ~ Pauline Kael
Medical Practice quotes by Pauline Kael
The bill would ban human cloning, and any attempts at human cloning, for both reproductive purposes and medical research. Also forbidden is the importing of cloned embryos or products made from them. ~ Ken Calvert
Medical Practice quotes by Ken Calvert
I can't justify to myself working less, even if you get more out of it. Even though, in practice, it does seem it would be better for me personally. ~ Chael Sonnen
Medical Practice quotes by Chael Sonnen
Study the heart and the mind of man, and begin with your own. Meditation and reflection must lay the foundation of that knowledge, but experience and practice must, and alone can, complete it. ~ Lord Chesterfield
Medical Practice quotes by Lord Chesterfield
I wasn't expecting that. It hit me in a place I didn't know was there. All I could think of was one of those medical shows. They're operating on some poor slob, they accidentally nick an artery, and he starts gushing. 'We got a bleeder!' the surgeon yells, and everybody comes rushing to the operating table. Nobody was rushing to me, though. ~ Neal Shusterman
Medical Practice quotes by Neal Shusterman
Determination, effort, and practice are rewarded with success. ~ Mary Lydon Simonsen
Medical Practice quotes by Mary Lydon Simonsen
The way anything is developed is through practice practice practice practice practice practice practice practice practice and more practice. ~ Joyce Meyer
Medical Practice quotes by Joyce Meyer
Tweeting is a great way to practice writing jokes, but there is so much more to comedy writing than just jokes. Jokes are a necessity, but you also have to learn how to write characters, to break a story, to keep coherence between episodes. I've learned more by being a TV writer than I ever could've on my own. ~ Megan Amram
Medical Practice quotes by Megan Amram
Of course, I continue to play and to practice. I think I would do so if I lived for another hundred years. ~ Pablo Casals
Medical Practice quotes by Pablo Casals
Practice works because practice gives us a chance to relax enough to make smart choices. ~ Seth Godin
Medical Practice quotes by Seth Godin
Dana was lead singer for The Droids, Sweet Valley High's answer to the Rolling Stones. They had a reputation for being pretty wild, but most of it was just conjecture. Not many outsiders knew what went on in the smoky confines of Max Dellon's basement, where they held their practice sessions. ~ Francine Pascal
Medical Practice quotes by Francine Pascal
researchers like Dr. Eva Sapi have shown Lyme is like some other spirochetes - it has biofilms. These are very tough biofilms to defeat unless caught in the "acute stage." A tough, "mature biofilm" allows organisms to "laugh at" many antibiotics. Some medical professionals interested in Lyme often ignore the immune suppressing Bartonella bacterium, which is more common than Lyme. Ignoring coinfections may increase the risk of fatality with Babesia and possibly FL1953. These healers also may not realize that the highly genetically complex Lyme spirochete appears to have a troublesome biofilm. Performing a simple direct test at laboratory companies whose testing kits have reduced sensitivity will probably result in more negatives for tick-borne diseases. The ultimate result is anti-science and anti-truth. Searching for tick infections with one test is like writing in "Lincoln" at the next presidential election. ~ James L. Schaller
Medical Practice quotes by James L. Schaller
Computable Numbers' into practice.21 This was ~ Peter Watson
Medical Practice quotes by Peter Watson
It has a lot to do with developing patience, not with the check-out person so much, but with your own pain that arises, the rawness and the vulnerability, and sending some kind of warmth and love to that rawness and soreness. I think that's how we have to practice. ~ Pema Chodron
Medical Practice quotes by Pema Chodron
God doesn't care how well you can preach about forgiveness ... what He looks at is your behavior when presented the opportunity to practice it. ~ Steve Maraboli
Medical Practice quotes by Steve Maraboli
It's very important as a beginner that you understand right from the start that meditation is about befriending your thinking, about holding it gently in awareness, no matter what is on your mind in a particular moment. It is not about shutting off your thoughts or changing them in any way. ~ Jon Kabat-Zinn
Medical Practice quotes by Jon Kabat-Zinn
In brief, without being mindful of death, whatever Dharma practices you take up will be merely superficial. ~ Milarepa
Medical Practice quotes by Milarepa
It opens our eyes to many quite weird possibilities about disease that most medical scientists, tending to be unaware of current evolutionary thought, don't think of. ~ Paul W. Ewald
Medical Practice quotes by Paul W. Ewald
I usually accept bribes from both sides so that tainted money can never influence my decision. ~ Francis Bacon
Medical Practice quotes by Francis Bacon
If the majority of the "spiritual market" is drawn to prerational magic and myth, how do you reach the small group who are involved in genuine, laborious, demanding, transrational spiritual practice? This is very difficult, because both markets are referred to as "spiritual," but these two camps really don't get along very well-one is mostly translative, the other is mostly transformative, and they generally disapprove of each other-so how do you put them into one magazine without alienating them both? ~ Ken Wilber
Medical Practice quotes by Ken Wilber
The critical element in meditation practice is beginning again. Everyone loses focus at times, everyone loses interest at times, and everyone gets distracted over and over again. What is essential, and also incredibly transforming, is realizing that we have the ability to begin again, without blaming or judging ourselves, without thinking we have failed, without losing heart, we can, and need to, constantly be beginning again. ~ Sharon Salzberg
Medical Practice quotes by Sharon Salzberg
Whatever his private beliefs and religious practice, a president must be the guardian of the laws which ensure America's religious diversity. ~ Walter F. Mondale
