The practice of medicine is an art based on science. - Sir William Osler
Patients, as a rule, want to understand the meanings behind their illnesses “Why me?”, “Why now?”, “What lesson is this meant to teach me?”, “What did I do to deserve this?”
They hope to engage their physicians in the quest for answers, but physicians today are more interested in questions they can more easily answer: “What genes?”, “What proteins?”, and “What nerve pathways?”
Existential queries are dismissed as humanistic marginalia, no longer central, as they once were, to medical practice.

Medicine deals mainly with the patient, and not with biological problems (disease) in the strict sense, because a disease does not affect the patient only on the biological level. From the patient's perspective, it's an "illness," and it affects them on social…
إنّ الطبّ بالدرجةِ الأساس يتَعامَلُ مع المريضِ وليسَ مع المشاكلِ البيولوجية (الأمراض) بحدّ ذاتِها، لأنّ المرض لا يُصيبُ المريض على المستوى البيولوجي فقط: من وجهةِ نظر المريض، هو "عِلّة" تَعبَثُ بكيانِه كُلِّه على المستوى الإجتماعي والنفسي والمالي حتى. بكلماتٍ أُخرى: المَرَضُ مشكلةٌ وجودية، لأنّه يُسَمِّم وجودَ الإنسانِ كُلَّه.
لهذا فإنَّ الطبَ، في تعامُلِه مع المريضِ بمرضِه (البيولوجي) وعلّتِه (الوجودية) معًا، هو أيضًا مُحَمَّلٌ بكلُ أنواعِ التَبِعاتِ العِلمية والإجتماعية والأخلاقية والنفسية وحتى الفلسفية.

Variability is the law of life, and as no two faces are the same, so no two bodies are alike, and no two individuals react alike and behave alike under the abnormal conditions which we know as disease.

The philosophies of one age have become the absurdities of the next, and the foolishness of yesterday has become the wisdom of tomorrow.

History taking and careful observation (not laboratory results) were the authority upon which differential diagnoses and initial treatment plans were built. Laboratory tests confirmed (or not) our hypotheses, not the other way around.

What makes one heroic?
To approach at the same time one's highest suffering and one's highest hope.
