Tang dynasty Chinese Medicine Practitioner Sun Si Miao

The great Tang dynasty Chinese Medicine Practitioner Sun Si Miao (孙思邈) once wrote:
上医医未病之病;中医医欲病之病;下医医已病之病
Translated, it means: The best doctors treat the disease that is yet to occur; The average doctors treat the disease that is about to occur;The mediocre doctors treat the disease that has already occurred.
