THE APPLICATION OF PHILOSOPHY IN PRACTICE



Why give the patient “the works”? Stick to the law. There is no reason why a patient should not have the privilege and the benefit of breathing his last under expert homoeopathic care. It is generally the easiest way out. A patient once said: “Doctor, you have done one thing for me; you have taken away that awful fear of death. I am not afraid to go now.” What further medication would anyone suggest in a hopeless and apparently incurable case? The prescription was the true similimum and the physician heaven-sent.
