Physician's Prayer

Daily Physician's Prayer

From inability to let alone...............................................Good Lord, deliver us;

From too much zeal for the new....................................Good Lord, deliver us;

From too much contempt for what is old......................Good Lord, deliver us;

From putting knowledge before wisdom.......................Good Lord, deliver us;

From putting science before art.....................................Good Lord, deliver us;

From putting cleverness before common sense..........Good Lord, deliver us;

From treating patients as cases.....................................Good Lord, deliver us;

From making the cure of the disease more grievous 

than the endurance of the same.....................................Good Lord, deliver us.

Sir Robert Hutchison
