1.6.23
Having thoroughly observed whether it is with raw toxins, without raw toxins, easily curable, and the pains, [and then observing] the destruction of the pains— / this is the essence of the entire medical treatise; for the physician does not bestow life or strength.
1.6.23.p1
The physician is not capable of giving happiness or sorrow to a man;
the ripening of a creature's past deeds alone in this world is for happiness and for sorrow.
