Original
人命至重，有贵千金，一方济之，德逾于此。
Translation
Human life is of utmost importance, more precious than a thousand pieces of gold. If a single prescription can save it, the virtue of that act surpasses even such wealth.
📝 Commentary
This highlights the supreme value of human life in medical ethics, emphasizing that saving a life through medicine is a virtuous act beyond material wealth. It reflects the traditional Chinese medical principle that healing is a moral duty, not merely a profession.
