Quotes on Medical Science

We look for medicine to be an orderly field of knowledge and procedure. But it is not. It is an imperfect science, an enterprise of constantly changing knowledge, uncertain information, fallible individuals, and at the same time lives on the line. There is science in what we do, yes, but also habit, intuition, and sometimes plain old guessing. The gap between what we know and what we aim for persists. And this gap complicates everything we do.

Medicine is a science of uncertainty and an art of probability.

Medical science has proven time and again that when the resources are provided, great progress in the treatment, cure, and prevention of disease can occur.
