"Industrial hospital or clinic medicine works like a large-scale auto repair shop. There are specialists here and there. In the repair shop, there are motor fitters, body fitters, electrical fitters, upholsterers, polishers, etc. The hospital has cardiologists, internists, endocrinologists, laryngologists, surgeons, etc. They take action depending on what the problem is. The center of their interest is the diseased organ. The person himself is devalued into a case of the diseased organ. It includes a malfunctioning heart or kidney. And the case should not have excessive personal needs. Accordingly, a good patient is someone who is modest, adaptable, looks at the "professional" with sufficient reverence, and can be cured in a routine manner. A worse patient who causes problems and headaches. And the incurable patient is the outcast of medicine.

""Az indusztriális kórházi vagy rendelőintézeti orvoslás úgy működik, mint egy nagyipari autójavító műhely. Itt is, ott is specialisták vannak. A javítóműhelyben motorszerelők, karosszériások, elektromos szerelők, kárpitosok, fényezők, stb. A kórházban kardiológusok, belgyógyászok, endokrinológusok, gégészek, sebészek stb. Attól függően lépnek akcióba, hogy mi a baj. Érdeklődésük középpontjában a beteg szerv áll. Maga az ember a beteg szerv tokjává devalválódik. Benne van a rosszul működő szív vagy vese. A toknak pedig ne legyenek túlzott személyes igényei. Ennek megfelelően jó beteg az, aki szerény, alkalmazkodó, kellő áhítattal tekint a "szakemberre", és főként rutinszerűen gyógyítható. Rosszabb beteg, aki problémát, fejtörést okoz. A gyógyíthatatlan beteg pedig az orvoslás selejtje."
