AB No  greater  opportunity,  responsibility,  or  obligation  can  fall  to  the  lot  of  a  human  being  than  to  become  a  physician.  In  the  care  of  the  suffering,  [the  physician]  needs  technical  skill,  scientific  knowledge,  and  human  understanding.…  Tact,  sympathy,  and  understanding  are  expected  of  the  physician,  for  the  patient  is  no  mere  collection  of  symptoms,  signs,  disordered  functions,  damaged  organs,  and  disturbed  emotions.  [The  patient]  is  human,  fearful,  and  hopeful,  seeking  relief,  help,  and  reassurance.—Harrison’s  Principles  of  Internal  Medicine,  1950
