Medicine by Dumbledore

"It's not really clear whether this disorder is real or just psychosomatic" + all of psychiatry

Dumbledore says: "Of course it's happening inside your head, Harry, but why on earth should that mean that it is not real?" 

"The public tends to see death as a game, something you can get out of if you just play your cards right." + end-of-life issues generally

Dumbledore says: "To the well-organized mind, death is but the next great adventure."
and: "Indeed, your failure to understand that there are fates much worse than death has always been your greatest weakness."
Harry's parents' gravestone: "The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death"
Beedle the Bard: "And then he greeted Death as an old friend, and went with him gladly, and, as equals, they departed this life."

Pediatric and adolescent medicine

Dumbledore says: "Youth cannot know how age thinks and feels. But old men are guilty if they forget what it was to be young..."

Always applicable

"Alas, earwax!"
