There are only two sorts of doctors: those who practice with their brains, and those who practice with their tongues.

The practice of medicine is an art, not a trade; a calling, not a business; a calling in which your heart will be exercised equally with your head. Often the best part of your work will have nothing to do with potions and powders, but with the exercise of an influence of the strong upon the weak, of the righteous upon the wicked, of the wise upon the foolish.

Observe, record, tabulate, communicate. Use your five senses. Learn to see, learn to hear, learn to feel, learn to smell, and know that by practice alone you can become expert.

Our population is growing, and we have a lot of doctors in Arizona. But they tend to practice urban. And when they go rural, they don't tend to stay for a long time.

We need to make sure doctors can afford to practice medicine here and of course recruitment activities (need to be in place) so health care is more available to people.

Practice puts brains in your muscles.
