Medical costs are soaring because our health-care system is totally screwed up. Doctors and hospitals have every incentive to spend on unnecessary tests, drugs, and procedures.

Medical debts are the number-one cause of bankruptcy in America.
‐‐ Barbara Ehrenreich
Medical decisions have been politicized. What doctor wants a state legislator in his consulting room?
‐‐ Garry Trudeau
Medical Device technology is truly interdisciplinary.
‐‐ Chris Toumazou
Medical judgment can be taught - laboriously, in long periods of training - but it cannot be neatly handed over as the occasion demands it. It is the irreplaceable and untransferable contribution that the healer makes to the suffering individual who would be healed.
‐‐ Sherwin B. Nuland
Medical knowledge and technical savvy are biodegradable. The sort of medicine that was practiced in Boston or New York or Atlanta fifty years ago would be as strange to a medical student or intern today as the ceremonial dance of a !Kung San tribe would seem to a rock festival audience in Hackensack.
‐‐ Lewis Thomas
Medical liability reform is not a Republican or Democrat issue or even a doctor versus lawyer issue. It is a patient issue.
‐‐ John Ensign
Medical need is an infinitely expandable concept. There is always one more marginal procedure that can be done. There is no end to the medical and surgical treatments that a technologically sophisticated and advanced society can give to aging bodies.

Medical physicists work in cooperation with doctors. A few medical physicists devote their time to research and teaching. A few get involved with administrative duties.
‐‐ John Cameron
Medical physics is an applied area of physics.
‐‐ John Cameron
Medical professionals are as skilled and as dedicated as any, but they operate within a fragmented system that has not progressed as far as we have in aviation.
‐‐ Chesley Sullenberger
Medical professionals, not insurance company bureaucrats, should be making health care decisions.
‐‐ Barbara Boxer
Medical research in the twentieth century mostly takes place in the lab; in the Renaissance, though, researchers went first and foremost to the library to see what the ancients had said.
‐‐ Peter Lewis Allen
Medical research is needed, and I just saw there was a need for help that the government - state or federal - was not spending the taxpayers' money on helping people get through college.
‐‐ Joe Jamail
Medical researchers don't know much about head lice because they don't much care. The reason that they don't much care is, paradoxically, that they know a lot. That is, they know one important thing: there is no evidence that head lice transmit disease.
‐‐ P. J. O'Rourke
Medical school education and post graduate education emphasize thoroughness.
‐‐ Ezekiel Emanuel
Medical science has proven time and again that when the resources are provided, great progress in the treatment, cure, and prevention of disease can occur.
‐‐ Michael J. Fox
Medical tourism can be considered a kind of import: instead of the product coming to the consumer, as it does with cars or sneakers, the consumer is going to the product.
‐‐ James Surowiecki
Medical training taught me the art of breaking down the complex maze of stories, symbols and rituals into clear systems. You could say that it helped me figure out the anatomy and physiology of mythology and its relevance in a society more incisively. How is it that no society can, or does, exist without them?
‐‐ Devdutt Pattanaik
Medically speaking, there is no such thing as a nervous breakdown. Which is very annoying to discover when you're right in the middle of one.
‐‐ Marian Keyes
Medicare and Social Security have created the healthiest and most financially secure generation of senior citizens in American history.
‐‐ Jim Walsh
Medicare debates in Congress should result in better Medicare benefits for all our nation's seniors. We're not asking for special treatment for rural America, just a fair deal.
‐‐ Bennie Thompson
Medicare is a monopoly: a central-planning bureaucracy grafted onto American health care. It exercises a stranglehold on the health care of all Americans over 65, and on the medical practices of almost all physicians. Medicare decides what is legitimate and what is not: which prices may be charged and which services may be rendered.
‐‐ Virginia Postrel
Medicare is a promise we made to seniors more than four decades ago. When President Johnson signed Medicare into law, one in three seniors lived in poverty. Half of seniors had no health coverage at all.
‐‐ John Garamendi
Medicare is expensive because we spend a lot on healthcare. We spend a lot on healthcare basically just because we want to, and doing so has been very good to a lot of people who work in healthcare fields.
‐‐ Alex Pareene
Medicare is immune from the competitive pressures that force private insurers to pay attention to what patients and doctors want.
‐‐ Virginia Postrel
Medicare provided guaranteed equal coverage, something that the private sector could not.
‐‐ Bennie Thompson
Medicare's top officials said in 2006 that they had reduced the number of fraudulent and improper claims paid by the agency, keeping billions of dollars out of the hands of people trying to game the system.
‐‐ Charles Duhigg
Medication can help us live a happier life.
‐‐ Carnie Wilson
Medications almost always do it better if they're used in conjunction with other supports.
‐‐ Mehmet Oz
Medicine also disregards national boundaries.
‐‐ Irving Langmuir
Medicine and writing are natural companions.
‐‐ Kevin Patterson
Medicine grounds me, it centers me, that's why I continue to do it.
‐‐ Mehmet Oz
Medicine has always been my calling.
‐‐ Mehmet Oz
Medicine has been successful by treating diseases in a very specific way once the damage is done. But telomere length integrates a lot of factors together and gives you an overall picture of risk for what is now emerging as a lot of diseases that tend to occur together, such as diabetes and heart disease.
‐‐ Elizabeth Blackburn
Medicine has changed greatly in the last decades. Widespread vaccinations have practically eradicated many illnesses, at least in western Europe and the United States. The use of chemotherapy, especially the antibiotics, has contributed to an ever decreasing number of fatalities in infectious diseases.
‐‐ Elisabeth Kubler-Ross
Medicine heals doubts as well as diseases.
‐‐ Karl Marx
Medicine is a very tough thing. I mean, everyone is going to die. Sooner or later. That's a tough thing to face.
‐‐ Bernie Siegel
Medicine is my lawful wife and literature my mistress; when I get tired of one, I spend the night with the other.
‐‐ Anton Chekhov
Medicine is not only a science; it is also an art. It does not consist of compounding pills and plasters; it deals with the very processes of life, which must be understood before they may be guided.
‐‐ Paracelsus
Medicine is probably one of the best backgrounds for a writer to find stories. I always think cops and docs have the best background because we see so much of human behavior, such a range of human emotions.
‐‐ Tess Gerritsen
Medicine is so fascinating.
‐‐ Ellen Pompeo
Medicine is still all about treating populations, not people - one-size-fits all treatments and diagnoses.
‐‐ Eric Topol
Medicine is the means by which we poor feeble creatures try to keep from dying or aching.
‐‐ P. T. Barnum
Medicine is the restoration of discordant elements; sickness is the discord of the elements infused into the living body.
‐‐ Leonardo da Vinci
Medicine may be the lens through which I see the world, but since I think of medicine as 'life +', a place where life is exaggerated and seen at its most vital and poignant, I'll be writing about life more than I will be writing about medicine.
‐‐ Abraham Verghese
Medicine men live in caves.
‐‐ Jean-Michel Basquiat
Medicine really matured me as a person because, as a physician, you're obviously dealing with life and death issues, issues much more serious than what we're talking about in entertainment. You can't get more serious than life and death. And if you can handle that, you can handle anything.
‐‐ Ken Jeong
Medicine rests upon four pillars - philosophy, astronomy, alchemy, and ethics.
