"Medicine necessarily begins in clinics, since they determine and define the medical problem. But while they are the physician's first study, clinics are not the foundation of medicine. Physiology is the foundation of scientific medicine because it must yield the explanation of morbid phenomena by showing their relations to the normal state" Claude Bernard |
