A Physician

"From the inability to leave well alone,
excessive zeal for what is new,
and contempt for what is old:

From placing knowledge before wisdom,
science before art,
and cleverness before commonsense;

From treating patients as cases,
and from making the cure of the disease
more grievous than its endurance,

Good Lord, Deliver Us ! "

Sir Robert Hutchison: ( 1840s )
