Extended information:
To cure sometimes; to relieve often; to comfort always.——Trudeau
To cure sometimes; to relieve often; to comfort always. It's to comfort. This famous saying by American doctor Trudeau is widely circulated. It describes the three realms of medicine and is the motto of many medical workers. But we know very little about Trudeau himself. Today I checked some English information and found that many articles introducing Dr. Trudeau on Baidu are inconsistent with the facts.
For example, the article "A Doctor's Epitaph" in the "Changjiang Daily" writes: In 1837, Trudeau, who was suffering from tuberculosis, went to the shores of Saranac Lake alone to wait for death. In fact, Trudeau was not yet born in 1837. Moreover, he was not as miserable as the article described. He followed the doctor's advice and went there to recuperate. He himself had a wife who loved him very much and was in love with him. .
According to Wikipedia, Trudeau was born into a medical family in New York, USA, in 1848. He entered Columbia University Medical School at the age of 20 and completed his studies in 1871. In June of the same year, Trudeau married his girlfriend Lottie 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 a life of close intimacy through thick and thin.
