Hospital Quotes

I don’t think I can do this - painting under observation. It’s the worst thing there is, worse than being in the hospital Picture Quote #1

I remember being in tears at the hospital after Chloe was born, at the thought that someday she would have to leave home Picture Quote #1

A lot of my friends were gay, so I was spat on on the bus daily, and I ended up in hospital a couple of times from being beaten up so badly Picture Quote #1

I’m a veteran. If I go into the V.A. hospital in Tennessee, I want to know that the procedures they’re doing to me are being done properly. That is not unreasonable Picture Quote #1

Being a novelist and being a mother have exactly coincided in my life: the call from my agent saying that I had a contract for my first novel - that was on my answering phone message when I got back from the hospital with my first child Picture Quote #1

Whether it’s possible or not, being a doctor, you take an oath. To care for your patient, not to kill them. You take an oath to do things that are proper in the medical world. Not to administer something outside of a hospital setting that’s not even your area Picture Quote #1

In South Africa, being Chinese meant I wasn’t white and I wasn’t black. I trained in Baragwanath Hospital, the largest black hospital in South Africa. That was around 1976, the time of the Soweto Uprising, when police fired on children and students who were protesting. I was part of the group of interns who volunteered to treat them Picture Quote #1

I lost my mother when I was 7 and they put her in a mental hospital. My brother and I watched her being taken away in a strait jacket. That’s something you never forget. And my stepmother was like in the movie ‘Precious.’ I couldn’t handle it. So I said to myself, ‘I don’t have a mother. I don’t need one. I’m going to let music be my mother.’ Picture Quote #1

Before being elected to Congress, I oversaw the Cook County Hospital System as a Cook County Commissioner for 10 years Picture Quote #1

My mother had introduced me to a lot of my father’s friends because she believed that I would get to know the guy my dad was better through his friends than just in the hospital visits Picture Quote #1

I had actually hurt my neck, and because I went a while without getting it taken care of - it was pushing up against the back of my heart - and because I have heart issues, they thought it was this whole big deal. So I spent a good three days in the hospital, two nights in the ICU Picture Quote #1

When I was at school studying biology, I wanted to be a medical researcher. I did work experience at St Mary’s Hospital in London, and I begged them to let me see the post mortems. So the first time I saw a naked male was at 15, when I saw an 89 year old man who had died of a brain hemorrhage Picture Quote #1

I’m kind of obsessed with Shaun White. I took a DVD of Shaun White to the hospital when I gave birth to my son. His physical elegance and his ease in front of the camera alone are inspiring, but he’s got this... this dedication to excellence and this straight up courage that just... it personifies everything I want to be and everything I am not Picture Quote #1

I took my husband to the hospital yesterday to have 17 stitches out - that’ll teach him to buy me a sewing kit for my birthday Picture Quote #1

When I was born in 1959, the hospital in which I arrived had separate floors for black babies and white babies, and it was then illegal for blacks and whites to marry in many states Picture Quote #1

I was very blessed with a good body. Never got hurt. Never was in the hospital. The only time I was in the hospital was when I would get exhausted a little bit, and go in for a check-up or something Picture Quote #1

I was always in hospital as a kid: I had a tumour on my knee, lots of broken bones. I loved climbing trees Picture Quote #1

If I wanted a circus ringmaster, I’d hire Trump. If I wanted advice on brain surgery or hospital management, I’d turn to Carson. Fiorina would make an articulate television pundit. But for president? Picture Quote #1

In February 1991, I was rushed to the hospital in Los Angeles to have my feet amputated. Three years earlier, I had broken the national 100 meters hurdles record while a student at UCLA and was a favourite for the event at the 1988 Seoul Olympics Picture Quote #1

Who would have thought that the girl who was forced to go to the hospital because she’s so skinny would one day be called too fat? Picture Quote #1

In high school, I had two friends that were suffering from cancer. I would go and sing for them while they were in hospital, and I sang at their services after they passed Picture Quote #1

When I came to this country in 1958, to be a dying patient in a medical hospital was a nightmare. You were put in the last room, furthest away from the nurses’ station. You were full of pain, but they wouldn’t give you morphine. Nobody told you that you were full of cancer and that it was understandable that you had pain and needed medication Picture Quote #1

The Who’ created the Daltrey/Townshend Center at UCLA for teenage hospital patients with cancer. It’s the only one of its kind Picture Quote #1

Our health care system squanders money because it is designed to react to emergencies. Homeless shelters, hospital emergency rooms, jails, prisons - these are expensive and ineffective ways to intervene and there are people who clearly profit from this cycle of continued suffering Picture Quote #1

Too often, hospital staff are incented by management to get work done without worrying about care, and clinicians are too often not even trained to think about care Picture Quote #1

Time goes too quickly. This is the advice that my mother should have given me from her hospital bed. Instead of vague, unknowable quips like Be careful what you wish for, she should have told me time slides away on a hillside of loose shale and takes everything in its path - dreams, opportunities, hopes. And youth. It takes that fastest of all Picture Quote #1

After the Spanish Civil War against Franco, a group of us got together: a group of well-to-do people who were sympathetic to the lost cause of a Republican state. We bought a convent in Toulouse and converted it into a hospital run by the Unitarians. It took care of the Spanish refugees who fled to Toulouse Picture Quote #1

I start phone calls at 4 A.M. to cheer people up. The housebound, people in the hospital. People who, after decades, still can’t get over what happened 10 or 15 years ago Picture Quote #1

Gambling is so pervasive in Nevada that maybe the state should just go the whole hog. There’d be gum machines that dispensed chewing tobacco if you lost. You could gamble for the toilet paper in public bathroom stalls. And fill out Keno cards in an attempt to win cancer therapy at the hospital Picture Quote #1

Children are my pet cause. I have a foster child in El Salvador, and whenever I’m home, I work for the Adam Walsh Foundation, which finds missing children. I also do some hospital visits and other things for the Make-a-Wish Foundation Picture Quote #1
