To be a doctor is to use that combination of science and a kind heart to make decisions; to give ear to the voice of the patient and to respond to those who call out. That is what gives doctors the thumping heart, to believe in what they have to do. Over the years I have learned more than I have given. The medicine men of other cultures I have met have influenced my life.
