Quotes: "Ultimately, my main interest is the practical medicine in people's daily lives: what happens when the simplifications of science collide with such a complex phenomenon as the life of a particular person." “Uncertainty is a fundamental state of medicine, and the wisdom of both patients and physicians is shown in how they deal with it.” “Looking inside the human body, I realized that a person is a cross between a hurricane and an ice cube: in some respects a complete mystery, but in others, with sufficient scientific study and careful study, he is completely knowable. However, to think that we have reached the limits of human knowledge is just as foolish as to think that someday we will know everything.
