The Power of Suggestion

The Power of Suggestion es el título del editorial del Radiology de febrero de 1926, hace 90 años.

Sorprende ver cuánto ha cambiado la prosa médica en este tiempo, pero contiene perlas tan actuales como:

"...the profoundest respect, consideration and credit should be given to the other specialties and to the doctor referring the case. This must constantly be borne in mind to avoid any hostility; due credence should be given where it belongs, and when this is universally practised, co-operation of the specialties rather than competition will be the resultant."

"The phrase, "1 don't know," will avoid many castigations and is used by the really great men or the ignorant, and when used by the former does not cast a blemish on their escutcheon."
