When nature, being oppressed, commands the mind
To suffer with the body.

E'en dismissing the doctor don't always succeed.

There is no glory in illness. There is no meaning to it. There is no honor in dying of.
JOHN GREEN
The Fault in Our Stars
A good physician will advise himself whether a disease cometh from God, or is the fault of the party diseased.
