QUOTE OF THE DAY - Paracelsus on health and knowledge - The true meaning of "doctor"

"The universities do not teach all things ... so a doctor must seek out old wives, gypsies, sorcerers, wandering tribes, old robbers, and such outlaws and take lessons from them. A doctor must be a traveler . . . Knowledge is experience." Paracelsus

Art credit: Albrecht Dürer, "Jesus among the Doctors" 1506

A university degree doesnt necessarily make one a doctor. The origin of the word doctor was to denote one who teaches, so you see, anyone can be a doctor in the true sense of the word. It wasnt until hundreds of years later in the 1700s that it was made formal for masters in the medical field.

With love,
Doc
