Nothing in medicine is so insignificant as to merit attention.

The art of medicine was to be properly learned only from its practice and its exercise.

I confidently affirm that the greater part of those who are supposed to have died of gout, have died of the medicine rather than the disease - a statement in which I am supported by observation.

It is my nature to thin where others read.

I had a friend, Melissa, who was 28 years old. She was my best friend's wife, and she was my wife's best friend. She died of breast cancer. When she passed away back in 2004 was the last time I cried.

I play for those young kids with cancer or anybody who went through a tragedy in their life.

Even families with health insurance are quite vulnerable to a severe economic reversal if someone gets sick.

A publicly run health care program could compete with private insurance companies, which have a record of overcharging and underperforming.
