The politics have always been difficult in medicine. There is some truth in the way medical practice is portrayed in TV dramas.

In high school I had B's and C's, not too many A's, but I must have done well on that medical school test, and I must have had some charisma in the interview, so I ended up in medicine. Being a general practitioner was all I aspired to.

Reimbursement is a major determinant of how medicine is practiced. When reimbursement changes, so do medical practice and medical education.

Politics, as a practice, whatever its profession, has always been the systematic organization of hatreds.

[McComb] practiced medicine in a way that only Dr. Frankenstein would practice medicine. He was reckless and arrogant, and it could have been prevented.

Dad always explained the car engine when he repaired it, and he had many technical books, so I was making electromagnets by age eight as well as reading my mother's medical and nursing books. I suspect I was born with a boundless curiosity, and this was encouraged through my childhood.
