“I wish medical schools helped us to analyze our healthy and unhealthy reasons for becoming doctors.”

If you talk to your body, it will listen.

It can be tempting to blame others for our loss of direction. We get lots of information about life but little education in life from parents, teachers, and other authority figures who should know better from their experience. Information is about facts.

I had patients who didn’t die because they had too many pets to try to find homes for. It’s why women live longer than men with the same health problems.

You can’t control the world, but when you control your thoughts, you bring order.

What if Jesus was the only normal person who ever lived?

Be grateful simply for being alive. When you are grateful for life, pure and simple, your life becomes one you can be grateful for. That may strike you as circular or even backward logic, but your attitude really does have an effect on how things work out.

Hoping means seeing that the outcome you want is possible and then working for it.

We destroy ourselves when we stop feeling. If you bury your feelings within you, you become a graveyard.

You cannot fail at being yourself. A cat doesn’t try to be a tiger, and you shouldn’t try to be something you aren’t. You are a process, not a product. Your job is to discover what you are and create that creature.

If something controls you in a way that puzzles you, think of it as a mystery. Mysteries are best approached by closing your eyes and mouth to experience darkness and silence.

The words of love you hear, and the life you feel touching your body and soul, then you know you have discovered the great value of misfortune.

We have to create perfection through love

I agree, the world would be a better place if doctors were less enthusiastic about adopting very new drugs.

My dad is a doctor, a professor of psychiatry, and my mum is a psychotherapist.

The clever people at CERN are smashing particles together in the hope that Doctor Who will turn up and tell them to stop

First of all, when you have a doctor who cut the leg to prevent the patient from the gangrene if you have to, we don’t call butcher ; you call him a doctor, and thank you for saving the lives.
