Alexander Pope on Medicine
← Back to Alexander Pope Profile
“Banished the doctor, and expell'd the friend.”
“Learn from the beasts the physic of the field.”
“Who shall decide when doctors disagree, And soundest casuists doubt, like you and me?”
“So modern 'pothecaries, taught the art By doctor's bills to play the doctor's part, Bold in the practice of mistaken rules, Prescribe, apply, and call their masters fools.”
