These two quotes  on practice of medicine are close to my heart , one from Voltaire , a non medical man (a French poet )  and  the other from ,one of the greatest medical professional of our times, William  Osler .

Mohandas Karam Chand Gandhi ,  father of my country , India , made these observations in year 1925  about the  fundamental constituents of  violence in society . These words of monumental wisdom came when he was  addressing young Indians in a country- side rally .

Note, his finger points to , what  exactly is relevant to our profession ! He emphasized this  nearly  100 years ago, when medical science was at its infancy .One can only guess what would be Mahatma’s comment about our profession in it’s  current form !

Should we include moral, behavioral and ethical classes  right from the first year of medical  school along with Anatomy , physiology and bio chemistry.Medical council of India obviously need to burn more mid night oil , I wish it happens in my life time. !

Why some “Medical Truths” need to be so brutal ?

I frequently  refer to one of the most famous  medical quotes made in last century by a Harvard professor Dr Herbert Lay  in 1969.

 

medical quote herbert lay fda modern medicine Five  decades have gone since this observation was made by Dr Ley .Mind you ,Dr Ley is not a lay person , he was heading the same FDA  which  he targeted ! I guess when Dr Ley made this  statement  there was  little commercialization in  pharma Industry . Now along with it  an entirely  new field of medical device industry has grown to gargantuan proportions !

I  wonder what Dr Herbert Ley would have to say as on 2014 !

Many modern  medical  professionals would   shrug these views  as controversial , pessimistic and negative forces of science !

Here I borrow my own quote from venkat@thoughts
