Paul Virchow Quotes
“Medicine is a social science, and politics is nothing but medicine on a large scale.”
“It is the curse of humanity that it learns to tolerate even the most horrible situations by habituation.”
“Medical education does not exist to provide students with a way of making a living, but to ensure the health of the community.”
“The physicians are the natural attorneys of the poor, and the social problems should largely be solved them.”
excerpted from Mountains Beyond Mountains by Tracy Kidder.
