Summary

This quote suggests that it is not easy for someone, particularly in old age, to stop consulting with a doctor who is familiar with their medical history and understands their body and health condition. It highlights the difficulty of finding a doctor who knows their patient's constitution well enough and emphasizes the significance of such a relationship in healthcare decision-making. Parting with a trusted doctor can be challenging because it means giving up the reassurance and knowledge that comes with a longstanding doctor-patient bond.
