The Oxford Dictionary of Medical Quotations

Book Contents-
The Oxford Dictionary of Medical Quotations is intended to be a rich source of quotations
covering a variety of medically related topics. Those selected have been deliberately kept
short in an effort to highlight the pithiest phrase or the sharpest insight. Some are witty,
some are maudlin, some merely factual. They have been selected on the basis of their usefulness
to modern medical authors, journalists, politicians, nurses, physios, lecturers, and
even health managers, who will always have need to season their works with the clever or
witty phrases of former colleagues whose intuitions still say as much today as when they
were first published. Many reflect the compiler’s tastes and prejudices but there will be
something for everyone within these pages.
