Physicians, heal thyselves

Some local millionaire Republican doctors heaped scorn on efforts to reform health care. See below.

These angry millionaires are engaging in "health scare," not health scare.

Health scare is the same odious practice that led one local doctor to threaten publicly to move out of state if caps on medical malpractice damages were not set.

Physicians, heal thyselves.

Wikipedia reports:

Physician, heal thyself is a proverb found in Luke 4:23

"And He said to them, "No doubt you will quote this proverb to Me, 'Physician, heal yourself! Whatever we heard was done at Capernaum, do here in your hometown as well.'"

The usual interpretation of this passage is, during the Rejection of Jesus, Jesus expected to hear natives of his hometown of Nazareth use this phrase to criticize him.[1]

The moral of the proverb is counsel to attend to one's own defects, rather than criticizing defects in others.[2]
