Quote by Virginia Woolf
For what Harley Street specialist has time to understand the body, let alone the mind or both in combination, when he is a slave to thirteen thousand a year?
Summary
This quote suggests that Harley Street specialists, who are highly paid medical practitioners in London, often lack the necessary time and incentive to fully understand the complexities of the human body and mind. The implication is that their high salaries and hectic schedules leave little room for genuine empathy and holistic care. Instead, their financial obligations may limit their ability to truly comprehend and address the intersection of physical and mental health in their patients.
