Neurologija Quote by Svetislav Basara
““Razlikovanje neurologije i neuropsihijatrije još uvek nije uhvatilo korena u našem narodu - narodu koji usled zatucalosti nije u stanju da razlikuje ni mnogo važnije stvari - pa se na pacijente sa neurološkim dijagnozama gleda kao na psihopate. Često s pravom.””
