My uncle, a surgeon, a couple of years before his death at 90 years old: “Out pharmacology is so advanced and our understanding of health and disease so minuscule that I can more readily poison my patients than help them.”

And he had stopped practicing more than a decade before his death a decade ago. Imagine the situation now! The only thing to do is avoid disease and avoid them and their prescriptions when you come down with something.
