Medical Aphorisms Version 6.0

This application presents a curated selection of approximately 570 medical-related aphorisms, proverbs, historical quotations, and occasional light-hearted comments. Its purpose is to serve as a reminder of the rich history of medicine and its foundational aspirations. In an era often characterized by skepticism, this collection aims to reemphasize that medicine transcends mere business or scientific endeavor; it is also a calling and an art.

While some sayings are historically dated, they should be considered within their original context. A few quotations have been edited for clarity and brevity. The collection is anchored by many of the Hippocratic aphorisms, supplemented with similar supporting quotations to enrich the narrative.

Primarily designed for medical professionals, this app may also appeal to individuals interested in the history of medicine. It is compatible with any device running iOS 17.6 or higher. Navigation is facilitated through swipe gestures: swiping left advances to the next aphorism, while swiping right returns to the previous one.
