I was taught in medical school by a wise old country doc, that if I just

listened well enough, the patients would tell me what is wrong with

them.

***Me too I thought it was a osler quote I mix two of them together

one is

iF you want to know what is wrong with the patient, ask her.

and the other is something like the job of the physcian is to amuse the

patient while nature does the healing (mangled)

" I was taught in medical school by a wise old country

what is wrong with them. I have found this to be true, and to me has

much more to do with the true " art " of healing than either the physical

exam or the decision making portion that they describe as worthy of a

physician's expertise. " My father was taught in medical school ... " Listen to the patient. He is giving you the diagnosis. " Jacques Guillot, MD
