We can trust our doctors to be professional to minister equally to their patients without regard to their political or religious beliefs. But we can no longer trust our professors to do the same.

My goals over the decade include to develop new drugs to treat intractable diseases by using iPS cell technology and to conduct clinical trials using it on a few patients with Parkinson's diseases diabetes or blood diseases.

These days the technology can solve our problems and then some. Solutions may not only erase physical or mental deficits but leave patients better off than "able-bodied" folks. The person who has a disability today may have a superability tomorrow.

It goes without saying that the desire to accomplish the task with more confidence to avoid wasting time and labour and to spare our experimental animals as much as possible made us strictly observe all the precautions taken by surgeons in respect to their patients.

Since narcissism is fueled by a greater need to be admired than to be liked psychologists might use that fact as a therapeutic lever - stressing to patients that being known as a narcissist will actually cause them to lose the respect and social status they crave.

So it's been a slow process and it's taken some patience. That's why patients are called patients I think - patience is required.

I would like the Medical Society to be one of the resources for information about the influences that have an impact on our patients and our practices.

Even top caliber hospitals cannot escape medical mistakes that sometimes result in irreparable damage to patients.

With tens of thousands of patients dying every year from preventable medical errors it is imperative that we embrace available technologies and drastically improve the way medical records are handled and processed.

Many of us are alarmed at the skyrocketing cost of medical care including patients who are the consumers. However medical malpractice is not the reason for these increasing costs.

Today all patients accepted for treatment at St. Jude's are treated without regard for the family's ability to pay. Everything beyond what is covered by insurance is taken care of and for those without insurance all of the medical costs are absorbed by the hospital.

Researches tested a new form of medical marijuana that treats pain but doesn't get the user high prompting patients who need medical marijuana to declare 'Thank you?'

Civil and political rights are critical but not often the real problem for the destitute sick. My patients in Haiti can now vote but they can't get medical care or clean water.

Part of my training was learning how to refer patients to cardiologists for heart problems gastroenterologists for stomach issues and rheumatologists for joint pain. Given that most physicians were trained this way it's no wonder that the average Medicare patient has six doctors and is on five different medications.

By keeping my hand in that it's the way I keep learning. The main way you learn in medicine is by practicing and working with patients.

Depression can seem worse than terminal cancer because most cancer patients feel loved and they have hope and self-esteem.

Man becomes weak or ill by accident as a consequence of the lack of resources. Even the most severally ill patients must be treated with the aim of restoring their health.

We have really good data that show when you take patients and you really inform them about their choices patients make more frugal choices. They pick more efficient choices than the health care system does.

As patients and consumers we are better informed today about our health care than any previous generation.

In Illinois community migrant homeless and public housing health centers operate 268 primary care sites and serve close to 1 million patients every year.

By offering individuals ownership and control of their health care coverage we return control to the patients and that is exactly where it should be.

The World Health Organisation has a lot of its medical experts sitting in Geneva while hospitals in Africa have no drugs and desperate patients are forced to seek medication on the black market.

The Patients' Bill of Rights is necessary to guarantee that health care will be available for those who are paying for insurance. It's a part of the overall health care picture.

One of the jewels in the crown of Labour's time in office was the rescue of the National Health Service. As the Commonwealth Fund the London School of Economics and the Nuffield Foundation have all shown health reforms as well as additional investment were essential to improved outcomes especially for poorer patients.

Today we have a health insurance industry where the first and foremost goal is to maximize profits for shareholders and CEOs not to cover patients who have fallen ill or to compensate doctors and hospitals for their services. It is an industry that is increasingly concentrated and where Americans are paying more to receive less.

When the Veterans Affairs Department implemented a program to provide home-based health care to veterans with multiple chronic conditions - many of the system's most expensive patients to treat - they received astounding results.

We are spending most of our time in American health care fixing the mistakes that either we in the profession are causing or our patients are without recognizing it causing to themselves.

We should be concerned not only about the health of individual patients but also the health of our entire society.

People spending more of their own money on routine health care would make the system more competitive and transparent and restore the confidence between the patients and the doctors without government rationing.

I remember once I read a book on mental illness and there was a nurse that had gotten sick. Do you know what she died from? From worrying about the mental patients not being able to get their food. She became a mental patient.
