Time-saver Quotes

Obviously, it is a great time-saver and money-saver for the physician's family that anxiety about disease is not handled as though it were the disease itself; there is perhaps greater willingness to accept anxiety as a natural, often transient, phenomenon. And certainly there is much less ambition to deploy the full technology of medicine as a corrective for the human condition. (Lewis Thomas)
