BERNIE SIEGELNot because I’m fascinated by the human body or want to understand death, but I like people and I want to help them. That also became my problem, because I couldn’t help everyone, I couldn’t fix everyone.
BERNIE SIEGELThe doctor that acts out of love doesn’t burn out. He or she may get tired physically, but not emotionally.
