Johann Stieglitz –
I have often thought it would be important to
instruct physicians how to behave in cases of
incurable disease; not so much to tell them what
to do, but rather what not to do.

Andrew T. Still –
Rural Missouri doctor and founder of osteopathy
Quit your pills and learn from Osteopathy the
principle that governs you. Learn that you are a
machine, your heart an engine, your lungs a
fanning machine and a sieve, your brain with its
two lobes an electric battery.

natural than that women should be physicians, for

disease, and who so fit a nurse as woman!

So far as organization exists in every system from
that of the atom to the universe, and from that of
the single cell to the society of nations, the
properties of no system can be wholly deduced
from a knowledge of its isolated parts.

Medicine can never abdicate the obligation to care
for the patient and to teach patient care.

If they are not interested in the care of the
patient, in the phenomena of disease in the sick,
they should not be in the clinical department of
medicine, since they cannot teach students
clinical medicine.

unlimited claims on the child and rights over him.

that the rights are on the side of the child and the
duties on the side of the parent.

der Alt-Inder’ Arch. Ges. Med.: ()A pupil who is pure, obedient to his preceptor,
applies himself steadily to his work, and abandons
laziness and excessive sleep, will arrive at the end
of the science he has been studying.
Sushruta-Samhita‘Sutrasthanam’ Ch. The patient, who may mistrust his own parents,
sons and relations, should repose an implicit faith
in his own physician, and put his own life into his
hands without the least apprehension of danger;
hence a physician should protect his patient as his
own begotten child.
Sushruta-Samhita‘Sutrasthanam’ Ch. That person alone is fit to nurse or to attend the
bedside of a patient, who is cool-headed and
pleasant in his demeanour, does not speak ill of
any body, is strong and attentive to the
requirements of the sick, and strictly and
indefatigably follows the instructions of the
physician.
