Some thought provoking quotes there! I like this one from Dr Mike Eades' site:
Superior doctors prevent the disease.
Mediocre doctors treat the disease before evident.
Inferior doctors treat the full-blown disease.
— Huang Dee Nai-Chang—
(2600 BC 1st Chinese Medical Text)
And here are few others that I managed to find - all pertinent with today's 'run to the pills' mentality:
"It is a wise mans part, rather to avoid sickness, than to wishe for medicines." ~Thomas More, Utopia
"Poisons and medicine are oftentimes the same substance given with different intents." ~Peter Mere Latham
