When the physician gives you medicine and tells you to take it, you take it. "Yours not to reason why; yours but to do and die."


Physicians, of all men, are most happy: whatever good success soever they have, the world proclaimeth; and what faults they commit, the earth covereth.—Quarles.


This is the way that physicians mend or end us,

Secundum artem: but although we sneer

In health—when ill, we call them to attend us,

Without the least propensity to jeer.

Byron.
