It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.
I haven’t been approached to do a ‘Doctor Who’ movie. I think they would be scraping the bottom of the barrel if they asked me to do it.
‘Doctor Who’ is pretty dark, I think. Generally it’s dark; it’s always been dark.
I am officially a doctor, and believe it or not, I can save lives and tune certain instruments and can beat peasants with a stick.
My doctor gave me six months to live, but when I couldn’t pay the bill he gave me six months more.
I told the doctor I broke my leg in two places. He told me to quit going to those places.
Michelle and I don’t want anyone telling us who our family’s doctor should be – and no one should decide that for you either. Under our proposals, if you like your doctor, you keep your doctor. If you like your current insurance, you keep that insurance. Period, end of story.
There were a lot of choices to make and I always picked artist. I never once picked doctor, lawyer, firemen or something like that. It was always artist.
If your doctor tells you you have a rare disease that he or she has never seen, if you’ve got an incurable cancer, boy, don’t accept that. You know, go and get a second opinion.
I am a doctor. I have long experience with heart disease.
I suppose one has a greater sense of intellectual degradation after an interview with a doctor than from any human experience.
Relationships are hard. If as an actor you marry an engineer or a doctor, it’s really hard for them because they don’t understand what your life is like. We live two lives. We have a ‘reel’ life and a real life.
I’m not a comedian. And I’m not sick. The world is sick, and I’m the doctor. I’m a surgeon with a scalpel for false values.
To finally get that call from the doctor that you’re pregnant and you’re having a baby…. It was just another world.
Almost every woman I have spoken to about pregnancy has a story about her doctor giving her a hard time about her weight. Later in my pregnancy it felt like all of my time with my doctor was focused on how fat I was getting – so fat!
Never go to a doctor whose office plants have died.
I had once thought I would become a doctor but gave up on the thought soon enough. I took up the racquet instead. Later, when I saw my sister studying so much to become a doctor, I was like, ‘Thank God I am a shuttler!’
If I ever feel like I need to see someone to help me adjust to whatever life situation I’m seeing, I’ll go. You’re sick. When you’re physically ill, you go to the doctor. It’s the same thing about your mental. If you feel you’re starting to get sick, you go see someone who can help you.
I came in with a very specific idea about what a Doctor Strange movie should be, which was rooted in the comics, and I thought it should be as weird and as visually ambitious compared to modern comic book movies as the comic was when it showed up in the ’60s compared to other comic books at the time.
Every two weeks on ‘Doctor Who,’ the set is completely different, the world is different and there are new actors coming in. So, it’s constantly surprising, and it’s a pressure that you relish, actually.
I’m over the moon to be involved in the ‘Doctor Who’ Christmas special. I can’t quite believe it as it’s a part of the family tradition at the Jenkins household. I heard the news that I got the role on my 30th birthday and it was the best birthday present ever.
I grew up on antibiotics. Every ailment – sore throats, earaches, flus – warranted a trip to the doctor and in most cases some kind of prescription.
Doctor Who is like any long-running series in that the cast tend to look to the star to set the general tone. Rehearsals and filming could be a lot of fun.
I never believed in pushing my kids. My dad was very unhappy I wasn’t going to be a doctor, but I couldn’t stand to see the sight of blood. And I wanted to be a lawyer since I was in seventh or eighth grade.
The doctors must tell you that one of the risks of surgery is that you might die. This poor doctor was talking to an actress. It was very dramatic to me. To him, it was just a thing he had to say.
My dad, of course, like a lot of Asian parents, wanted me to be an engineer or doctor and never could understand why I would want to be a lawyer. And then, when I first said I wanted to run for office, he thought that was absolutely insane.
Remember, I’m a doctor’s daughter. So obviously I’m interested in all medical things.
I’ve seen so many patients, particularly elderly patients, over the years who become debilitated and changed by the process by which I cure them or another doctor cures them. And has it really been worth it?
I was raised on a farm in Kansas where we lived next door to my Grandma Dew, and I was her shadow. We went everywhere together – to the bank, the doctor, the Early Bird Garden Club, and to an endless procession of Church meetings.
I wanted to be a doctor in sports medicine; I was into sailing and all that sort of thing.
The doctor should be opaque to his patients and, like a mirror, should show them nothing but what is shown to him.
I hear from patients who say their doctor said, ‘If you want to take Vitamin C, go ahead and do it. It won’t harm you, and it may do you some good.’ More and more physicians are getting convinced about the value of large doses of Vitamin C.
I think mental illness or madness can be an escape also. People don’t develop a mental illness because they are in the happiest of situations, usually. One doctor observed that it was rare when people were rich to become schizophrenic. If they were poor or didn’t have too much money, then it was more likely.
A doctor once told me I have abnormal levels of adrenaline in my system.
I told my parents I wanted to be an actress years before I wrapped my head around what my dad did for a living. It’s not easy to explain the job of the television journalist, especially when a lot of my friends’ dads had jobs that were a lot easier to explain, like a lawyer, a banker or a doctor.
All my Doctor’s said I should become a model.
To be a nutritionist in France, you must be a doctor, seven years studies, and then three more years in nutrition.
Women should use pain medication only as directed and talk with their doctor about all drugs they’re taking, including over-the-counter medications. Store prescription drugs in a secure place and properly dispose of them as soon as treatment is over. And never share prescription drugs with anyone else.
As a doctor, you are out on call most nights, so you don’t get continuous sleep, and that becomes something that is familiar to you. So, working hard doesn’t bother me.
Although it happens more rarely in men, breast cancer is not gender-specific. I was in Costa Rica, and in the shower I felt this lump under my left nipple. It was very small, mind you, but enough to make me call my doctor.
Obamacare is bureaucrats getting between you and your doctor, and that’s what Americans most dislike about this legislation.
It took me a while to understand the meaning of a franchise: the reasons why you see lawyer, doctor, cop shows. It’s not because anyone in their right mind says, ‘You know, what’s the most fascinating thing in the world?’ It’s because you need something new that happens every week in a frame.
The conscience of the world is so guilty that it always assumes that people who investigate heresies must be heretics; just as if a doctor who studies leprosy must be a leper. Indeed, it is only recently that science has been allowed to study anything without reproach.
Let us not say that we will decide on a political basis at the national level that no State is competent to regulate the practice of medicine in that State if they decide to allow a doctor to prescribe marijuana, because that is what we are talking about.
‘Doctor Who’ is, unavoidably, a product of mid-twentieth-century debates about Britain’s role in the world as its empire unravelled.
My parents wanted me to be a doctor, and they weren’t very happy at the idea of me choosing acting as a career. Everyone in my family went to university – my older brother is a lawyer – but when they saw me for the first time at the theatre, they thought, ‘OK.’ They like it very much now.
The two most frightening words in Washington are ‘bipartisan consensus.’ Bipartisan consensus is when my doctor and my lawyer agree with my wife that I need help.
I have my father’s lopsided mouth. When I smile, my lips slope to one side. My doctor sister calls it my cerebral palsy mouth. I am very much a daddy’s girl, and even though I would rather my smile wasn’t crooked, there is something moving for me about having a mouth exactly like my father’s.
Your face tells a story and it shouldn’t be a story about your drive to the doctor’s office.
I was the first companion to kiss the Doctor. I played Grace Holloway to Paul McGann’s Doctor in the 1996 TV movie. We shared three kisses, in fact: very sweet and chaste. When I took the part, I’d never even heard of ‘Doctor Who.’ No one warned me that the kisses would be a big deal.
In 1903, I finished my doctor’s thesis and obtained the degree. At the end of the same year, the Nobel prize was awarded jointly to Becquerel, my husband and me for the discovery of radioactivity and new radioactive elements.
