"When many cures are offered for a disease, it means the disease is not curable" -Anton Chekhov
''Once you tell people there's a cure for something, the more likely they are to pressure doctors to prescribe it.'' -Robert Ehrlich, drug advertising executive.
"Opinions are like sphincters, everyone has one." - Chris Rangel
Doctor Democrat: One thing that comes through in the New York Times profile of Howard Dean, doctor and Democratic presidential hopeful is - once a doctor, always a doctor:
Howard Dean is a classic doctor: smart, abrupt and clinical. It's not hard to picture him in a white coat and loafers, backing toward the door as you try to ask one last question.
It’s more than just the reporter’s impression of the man, however:
''I'm trying to figure out how to do this and not be arrogant,'' he confides. ''Sometimes I get impatient with people who don't agree with me.''
Hmmm. Maybe the physician temperament isn’t the best fit for a national leader. posted by Sydney on
