Quote by Andrew Weil
I am not against all forms of high-tech medicine. Drugs and surger

I am not against all forms of high-tech medicine. Drugs and surgeries have a secure place in the treatment of serious health conditions. But modern American medicine treats almost every health condition as if it were an emergency. – Andrew Weil
