It comes from the epitaph of Dr. Trudeau, which is translated into English: to cure some times, to relief oft, to comfort always.
It objectively explains the role of doctors in treating diseases. If patients have the opportunity to cure diseases, they should always care for them and communicate with them with words of comfort.
Extended information:
In p>1848, Edward Livingston Trudeau was born into a medical family in new york, USA. At the age of 2, he entered the Medical College of Columbia University and completed his studies in 1871.
In June of the same year, Trudeau married his girlfriend Lottie Beare and settled in Long Island, new york to start his medical career. In his later years, Trudeau once described his wife affectionately in his autobiography, thanking her for her close life through thick and thin.
In p>1873, shortly after the birth of Trudeau's second child, he was only 25 years old and unfortunately suffered from tuberculosis. At that time, there was no cure for the disease. After listening to the doctor's advice, he went to the Adirondack Mountain near new york to recuperate and get in close contact with nature. Miraculously, his condition gradually recovered and he recovered three years later.
After that, Trudeau's family moved to Salanak Lake near Adirondack Mountain. In 1882, Trudeau learned the story of German doctor holman who cured tuberculosis patients through the fresh air in the mountains. Combining with his own experience, he was very inspired. With the support of friends, he founded the first sanatorium in the United States to treat tuberculosis --Adirondaec Contage Sanatorium.
It has helped and cured countless patients, including Robert Louis Stevenson, a famous writer with Treasure Island. Later, he established the first tuberculosis research institute in the United States, which was at the forefront of tuberculosis treatment and research.
