Quote of the day

The relation between doctor and patient remains a personal one within the impersonal framework of professional treatment. By no device can the treatment be anything but the product of mutual influence, in which the whole being of the doctor as well as that of his patient plays its part... Hence the personalities of doctor and patient are often infinitely more important for the outcome of the treatment than what the doctor says and thinks. CW 16 - par 163
