"I think medicine is just a piece of humanity. It's not a higher thing, it's more like it's woven into a fabric and everything is in there - eating, sleeping, sex, marriage, children, medicine - and we push it to some stratosphere and we disconnect from our patients because we're better than them, smarter, or richer. I think we miss it sometimes, and I don't want to go to my grave thinking I missed it."
