in hac artium sola evenit ut cuicumque medicum se professo statim credatur, cum sit periculum in nullo mendacio maius –> the medical profession is the only one in which anybody professing to be a physician is at once trusted, although nowhere else is an untruth more dangerous | this is the only one of the arts in which the moment a man declares himself to be an adept, he is at once believed, there being at the same time no imposture, the results of which are more fraught with peril
