Someone Great Said...

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
Edition

Someone Great Said...

No disease of the human body, belonging to the province of surgeon,
requires in its treatment a better combination of accurate anatomical
knowledge with surgical skill than Hernia in all its varieties.

Sir Astley Paston Cooper - 1804

Someone Great Said...

From putting knowledge before wisdom, science before art, cleverness
before common sense;
From treating patients as cases; and
From making the cure of a disease more grievous than its endurance,
Good Lord, deliver.

Sir Robert Hutchison

Someone great said...

To wrest from nature the secrets which have perplexed philosophers in
all ages, to track to their sources the causes of disease, to
correlate the vast stores of knowledge, that they may be quickly
available for the prevention and cure of disease - these are our
ambitions.

ECG

Can you guess what's happening there? Good, he is Willem Einthoven who invented the first practical electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG) in 1903 and received the Nobel Prize in Medicine in 1924 for it. The person had to dip his hands and one leg in salt solution to get the ECG recorded.

Chest X ray

What is striking here? Cardiomegaly? No, Sorry it is just malpositioning, a common artefact. If you see the trachea, it is deviated to right side and all mediastinal structures appear to have rotated.
