I think my father gave me a great reverence for medical science. He was about as opposite to the personality of House as one could imagine. He was polite and easygoing      and would have gone to great lengths to make his patients feel attended to and heard and sympathized with.|Hugh Laurie

I think tax is tough in this country. Every time I sign a cheque to pay tax      it drives me crazy. But at the same time            I’m happy to live here. I want to have a good medical system  good education            good roads    so it’s a Catch 22. I hate it  but it’s a necessary evil.|Jimmy Barnes

My parents are always like ‘Camille stop with the medical stuff!’|Camille Grammer

My memories from my childhood are centered on my father’s medical conditions alongside my constant desire to understand the principles of the nature around me.|Ada Yonath

Why have we settled for a medical system that allows cancer to be recast as a chronic and tolerable disease rather than one we should try to prevent? Why do so many scientists at the nation’s drug companies and universities turn their backs on the possibility of prevention?|Margaret Cuomo

We were unfortunate in having lost our only child. Our world had come crashing down. But thanks to the world of medical miracles        we’ve become parents again at an age when parenthood is considered impossible.|Satish Kaushik

I don’t practice          but I am still officially in paediatrics. I keep in touch with journals   and I have a very good data bank of medical information and there is a key thing for a writer knowing where to go. I know where to go to get the information that I need.|Jonathan Kellerman

I           at the age of 17 or 18 as a medical student          suddenly came up against a problem: ‘What am I? What is the meaning of my existence as I experience it?’|John Eccles

People do really well on space missions   but it’s the physiological    the medical stuff      the stuff like radiation loss of bone mass and muscle mass and density. It’s those things that we need to figure out.|Scott Kelly

Another cause of change     one less noticeable but fundamental        is the modern growth of population closely connected with scientific and medical discoveries. It is interesting that the United Nations has set up a special Commission to study this question.|Emily Greene Balch

Mind you       I’ve always been a very off-message type of fat broad; one who gladly admits she reached the size she is now solely through lack of discipline and love of pleasure      and who rather despises people (except those with proven medical conditions) who pretend that it is generally otherwise.|Julie Burchill

In 1963 and later papers      I pointed out that the special market characteristics of medical care and medical insurance could be explained by reference to differences in information among the parties involved.|Kenneth Arrow

Just the actual physical ability to hold four instruments simultaneously and do some of the things that Vivien was able to do is mind blowing to any surgeon.

Medical professionals are as skilled and as dedicated as any    but they operate within a fragmented system that has not progressed as far as we have in aviation.|Chesley Sullenberger

Here in Silicon Valley         I have taken part in hundreds of conversations trying to convince people to dive in and become entrepreneurs. All too often         innovators with good          safe    jobs are unwilling to put their family’s access to health care at risk by walking away from company-backed medical insurance.|Eric Ries

I first wanted to be a psychiatrist. I decided against that in medical school when I discovered that psychiatrists didn’t   in reality       do what they did on TV.|Ben Carson

When my husband turned 40          I was obsessed. ‘Has he had his medical checkup?’ He needed to go to the doctor; he needed to go to the dentist. Any little cough   I was really on him. Then he turned 40            and I thought            ‘Maybe that’s why I’ve been so obsessed with his health!’|Cate Blanchett

Medical researchers don’t know much about head lice because they don’t much care. The reason that they don’t much care is        paradoxically           that they know a lot. That is          they know one important thing: there is no evidence that head lice transmit disease.|P. J. O’Rourke

Meditation had never been tried before in a medical center      so we had no idea whether mainstream Americans would accept a clinic whose foundation was intensive training in meditative discipline.|Jon Kabat-Zinn

It is difficult to think of anything more important than providing the best education possible for our children. They will develop the next technologies          medical cures           and global industries            while mitigating their unintended effects or they will fail to do these things and consign us all to oblivion.|Sam Harris

Writing is very much an emotional process; it requires you to be very in touch with your feelings. That is the opposite of what you’re taught as a medical doctor. We’re supposed to be detached and logical. Maybe because I started off as a writer and then became a doctor       I’m able to integrate those two.|Tess Gerritsen

When I was in Class XI       I started preparing for medical college     and after that the Miss India pageant.|Manushi Chhillar

An abortion is expensive. Its cost includes pay for the doctor  supporting medical staff     their health benefits packages     and malpractice insurance.|Abby Johnson

To ensure that America remains the leader in medical innovation       we must reduce the costs of developing life-saving drugs and ensure that there are appropriate economic incentives in place to produce them.|Cathy McMorris Rodgers

We don’t classify all doctors as incompetent because of the infrequent instances of medical malpractice. We don’t use the example of one bad teacher in our children’s school to draw a negative conclusion of the entire teaching profession. We should apply that same rational standard when it comes to how we view law enforcement.|Thom Tillis

The Google algorithm was a significant development. I’ve had thank-you emails from people whose lives have been saved by information on a medical website or who have found the love of their life on a dating website.|Tim Berners-Lee

When I hear my friend John Boehner say that we have the best health care in the world     I don’t dispute it for a moment. If I were sick      this is the country I want to be in  with these doctors   these hospitals          and these medical professionals.|Dick Durbin

A lot of psychological principles and even medical principles you see them coming around to what the Bible said hundreds of years ago: a merry heart is good like a medicine.|Joel Osteen

I use those medical gloves that fit very tightly and are disposable for all chopping – peppers         onions garlic etc. Very Lady Macbeth     I think.|Nora Ephron

I am as non-accepting of medical quackery and unscientific approaches as anybody else. I’ve grown up as a card-carrying scientist and I know the power of science to answer questions   and for many questions I don’t know of anything better than scientific approaches to answer them.|Dean Ornish

My parents were educated in the Turkish system and went straight from high school to medical school; my mom         who had skipped a grade    was dissecting corpses at age seventeen. Growing up in America         I think I envied my parents’ education. By comparison everything I did in school seemed so sort of low-stakes and infantilizing.|Elif Batuman

In order for America to remain the leader in medical innovation         we must reduce costs          ease regulatory burdens   and increase the efficacy of producing new treatments and cures here in the U.S.|Cathy McMorris Rodgers

Medicare is a monopoly: a central-planning bureaucracy grafted onto American health care. It exercises a stranglehold on the health care of all Americans over 65        and on the medical practices of almost all physicians. Medicare decides what is legitimate and what is not: which prices may be charged and which services may be rendered.|Virginia Postrel

As a medical doctor I have known the face of adversity. I have seen much of death and dying     suffering and sorrow. I also remember the plight of students overwhelmed by their studies and of those striving to learn a foreign language. And I recall the fatigue and frustration felt by young parents with children in need.|Russell M. Nelson

We need to accept the seemingly obvious fact that a toxic environment can make people sick and that no amount of medical intervention can protect us. The health care community must become a powerful political lobby for environmental policy and legislation.|Andrew Weil

I welcome the President and working with him to try to get some of that medical malpractice reform so we can get the cost of health care to come down.|Ben Quayle

In the real world       90% of the money spent on medical research is focused on conditions that are responsible for just 10% of the deaths and disability caused by diseases globally.|Peter Singer

It’s crazy to me that in this world of electronic medical records Walmart has so much information about how we shop but no one has that information about our health. Why can’t my doctor say  ‘Wow Anne   based on your lifestyle and behavior       you’re five years from being diabetic.’ But I can go to Target and they know exactly what I’m going to buy.|Anne Wojcicki

Most medical physicists work in the physics of radiation oncology making sure that the desired dose is given to the cancer and the dose to normal tissues are minimized.|John Cameron

‘Savage Inequalities’ was about school finance   and ‘Amazing Grace’ primarily dealt with medical and social injustices in New York.

In our conversations            I let them lead me where they wanted to go.|Jonathan Kozol

I have a zombie apocalypse kit at my house. I’ve got freeze dried food          I’ve got a real deal medical kit     like    a doctor could perform a surgery with this medical kit. I got all kinds of everything.|Joel Madden

The downside to becoming a doctor          I think           is it’s a very long process; four years of medical school          three years of internship    two years of residency       umpteen years of specialization and then finally you get to be what you have trained almost all your life for.|Jim Lee

Yes. I’m a doctor      an epidemiologist    and lots of my professional colleagues flip back and forth between industry and medical roles. I know them; they are not bad people. But it is possible for good people in bad systems to do things that inflict enormous harm.|Ben Goldacre

Saving the world via medical research or going off to Gobi Desert to dust off dinosaur eggs is what I thought I might be doing when I was a kid          and I’d love to bring those interests to a show like ‘E.R.’ or ‘The West Wing     ‘ or a movie like ‘Jurassic Park.’|Morgan Fairchild

We are a wealthy country. We also are the global engine of innovation in health care         whether it’s the pharmaceutical industry or the creation of medical devices.|Ron Williams

Just as we would have no need of the farmer’s labor and toil if we were living amid the delights of paradise         so also we would not require the medical art for relief if we were immune to disease            as was the case        by God’s gift at the time of Creation before the Fall.|Saint Basil

Medical knowledge and technical savvy are biodegradable. The sort of medicine that was practiced in Boston or New York or Atlanta fifty years ago would be as strange to a medical student or intern today as the ceremonial dance of a !Kung San tribe would seem to a rock festival audience in Hackensack.|Lewis Thomas

Oh there are lots of doctors and medical professionals out there who buy my devices at whole sale price.|Alex Chiu

Disability is often framed    in medical terms      as the ultimate disaster and certainly as a deficit.|Stella Young

A strong intuition is much more powerful than a weal test. Normals teach us rules; outliers teach us laws. For every perfect medical experiment        there is a perfect human bias.|Siddhartha Mukherjee

I have passed English medical examinations in Hong Kong… In my youth    I experienced overseas studies. The languages of the West            its literature  its political science its customs   its mathematics  its geography           its physics and chemistry – all these I have had the chance to study.|Sun Yat-sen

While health reform is a worthy goal        we shouldn’t pay for it by taxing those who already have high medical costs because they or someone in their family has a disability.|Cathy McMorris Rodgers

I think ‘Red Band Society’ is unique because not only is it focusing on a pediatric ward      but it’s from the view from the patient       not from the view of the doctors. So we’re getting to see a whole other side of hospitals and medical series life that we haven’t been able to see before.|Ciara Bravo

We still have people in the active duty     and if people are feeling ill if they’re experiencing various symptoms and they’re still in the active duty       they’re less likely to come forward because that could result in their medical discharge.|Bernie Sanders

We have the greatest hospitals       doctors          and medical technology in the world – we need to make them accessible to every American.|Barbara Boxer

Sometimes I wish I could just take a lightweight bag on the plane but instead I’ve got to make sure I’ve got all my medical stuff. That can become a bit boring.|Jo Frost

Every country in the world is battling the rising cost of health care. No community anywhere has demonstrably lowered its health-care costs (not just slowed their rate of increase) by improving medical services. They’ve lowered costs only by cutting or rationing them.|Atul Gawande

When I talked to my medical friends about the strange silence on this subject in American medical magazines and textbooks    I gained the impression that here was a subject tainted with Socialism or with feminine sentimentality for the poor.|Alice Hamilton

In strictly medical terms      there’s no difference between HIV and diabetes; they’re not curable  but they’re very   very highly treatable           and early information is power. The only thing – literally the only thing – that is different is the stigma. And we have to overcome it          because it is now the only reason people are dying.|David Furnish

I think something very simple that everybody can do is they can participate in medical research as subjects. Personal genome project for example  will take on as many subjects as we can find.|George M. Church

To cure ALS medically is not economical. The realities are that it’s difficult to find funding for research for a medical cure. I believe in developing technology as opposed to medical research. Technology can be economical.|Steve Gleason

The growth of medical expenditures in the U.S. is not caused by administrative costs but by increases in the technical intensity of care over time – a.k.a. medical progress.|Virginia Postrel

In medical school     it’s quite possible to get taught that you can diagnose everybody and treat everything. But then you get out in the real world and find that for most patients walking through your door    you have no idea what’s causing their symptoms.|Barry Marshall

A calculator is a tool for humans to do math more quickly and accurately than they could ever do by hand; similarly          AI computers are tools for us to perform tasks too difficult or expensive for us to do on our own           such as analyzing large data sets or keeping up to date on medical research.|Oren Etzioni

This is a really big space station. We do a lot of various kinds of work here  different kinds of science experiments; we have over 400 different experiments going on at any one time in different areas from basic science research to medical technology        that hopefully will benefit more people on Earth.|Scott Kelly

Jobs for every American is doomed to failure because of modern automation and production. We ought to recognize it and create an income-maintenance system so every single American has the dignity and the wherewithal for shelter basic food     and medical care. I’m talking about welfare for all. Without it          you’re going to have warfare for all.|Jerry Brown

When I was 10 years old     a cousin of mine took me on a tour of his medical school.

The politics have always been difficult in medicine. There is some truth in the way medical practice is portrayed in TV dramas.|Barry Marshall

Preemption is not about the Essure women – it affects all consumers. If someone had a medical device installed         there’s no recourse for victims      and the company is protected. If there’s a problem            the company gets a pass because they have preemption. It dawned on me the consumer didn’t know. The women didn’t know that this existed.|Erin Brockovich

The medical system in the United States is among the best in the world         if not the best. What if we were to make the United States a medical destination?

If they can get U.S. treatment           they will take it            but now think about what that will do.|Indra Nooyi

When medical students focus on helping others  they’re able to weather the slings and arrows of long hours and devastating health outcomes: they know their colleagues and patients are depending on them.|Adam Grant

In medical school     you’re taught to write in this convoluted Latinate way. I knew the vocabulary as well as anyone          but I would write kidney instead of nephric. I insisted on using English.|Ethan Canin

My parents and grandparents have always been engaged in teaching or the medical profession or the priesthood     so I’ve sort of grown up with a sense of complicity in the lives of other people        so there’s no virtue in that; it’s the way one is raised.|Colin Firth

I would like to promote the concept of a partnership of insurance companies           physicians and hospitals in deploying a basic framework for an electronic medical records system that is affordable.|Samuel Wilson

I got into medical school at the University of California in San Francisco and did well. A lot of smart kids in medical school         and believe me         I wasn’t not nearly the smartest one          but I was the most focused and the happiest kid in medical school. In 1979        I graduated as the valedictorian and was honored with the Gold Cane Award.|Richard Carmona

I went to the University of Maryland for a year and was considering maybe you know      being a medical doctor but decided my other interest was maybe flying airplanes in the Navy and just kind of changed my mind and changed schools and changed majors and decided to focus a hundred percent on that.|Scott Kelly

In high school I had B’s and C’s     not too many A’s      but I must have done well on that medical school test     and I must have had some charisma in the interview     so I ended up in medicine. Being a general practitioner was all I aspired to.|Barry Marshall

Every article I wrote in those days every speech I made           is full of pleading for the recognition of lead poisoning as a real and serious medical problem.|Alice Hamilton

I have enjoyed great satisfaction from my climb of Everest and my trips to the poles. But there’s no doubt that my most worthwhile things have been the building of schools and medical clinics.|Edmund Hillary

Prior to my call to the Twelve        I served as a medical doctor and surgeon.|Russell M. Nelson

Dad always explained the car engine when he repaired it          and he had many technical books so I was making electromagnets by age eight as well as reading my mother’s medical and nursing books. I suspect I was born with a boundless curiosity     and this was encouraged through my childhood.|Barry Marshall

What we look for are people that are technically competent. You need a background in a scientific field            whether it’s as a scientist    an engineer   medical doctor         or       you know      a person that’s in the military with some kind of technical background.|Scott Kelly

The difference in the quality of medical care received by people with mental illness is one of the reasons why they live shorter lives than people without mental illness. Even in the best-resourced countries in the world        this life expectancy gap is as much as 20 years. In the developing countries of the world            this gap is even larger.|Vikram Patel

Why doesn’t Apple stop for a year and make medical devices? When people talk about technology            that’s where I start to get a little hot under the collar because I know that it’s the key to solving some of the world’s biggest problems. Having a faster  thinner telephone is not one of the world’s biggest problems.|Luke Perry

I came from a middle-class family. My father was a professor in a medical college and my mother was a schoolteacher. We led a good life but we did not have much money.|Sudha Murty

In my own life          I decided to leave meat off my plate in medical school but was a bit slow to realise that dairy products and eggs are not health foods either.|Neal Barnard

You can’t get through medical school if you don’t have a strong will and a strong constitution.|Ken Jeong

I think it’s a very valuable thing for a doctor to learn how to do research       to learn how to approach research         something there isn’t time to teach them in medical school. They don’t really learn how to approach a problem         and yet diagnosis is a problem; and I think that year spent in research is extremely valuable to them.|Gertrude B. Elion

The great medical facilities are a relief for the parents   too     who don’t have to think about caring for their young ones on their own for a weekend. They have a great time.|Jami Gertz

Consider this: I can go to Antarctica and get cash from an ATM without a glitch     but should I fall ill during my travels     a hospital there could not access my medical records or know what medications I am on.|Nathan Deal

Health care historically has been a very siloed field that’s organized around medical specialties – urology            cardiac surgery        and so forth – and around the supply of these specialty services. The patient is the ping-pong ball that moves from service to service.|Michael Porter

By the end of the millennium         despite the continuing excitement of the field    almost thirty years of a detour from chemistry to medical imaging began to pall    and I changed my focus to a field of chemical research    just in time for my past to catch up with me in the form of a Nobel Prize. All detours should be so productive!|Paul Lauterbur

If medical doctors can be sued for malpractice   shouldn’t financial professionals practice under the same safeguard?|Robert Kiyosaki

I read Freud’s Introductory Lectures in Psychoanalysis in basically one sitting. I decided to enroll in medical school. It was almost like a conversion experience.|Stanislav Grof

My contention is that if we expand the patient-centered health care approach           we’ll have less people that have to go the medical clinic that provides free service or go to the emergency room – they can have their own health care plan.|Tim Walberg

Making it easier for people to connect with their doctors or medical advisors is a goal that we should strive to attain.|Ned Lamont

There’s a lot of arrogance in the medical community. There are good reliable websites you can go to for information – the Mayo Clinic  the Cleveland Clinic           Johns Hopkins.|Tom Brokaw

When I took command in Vietnam            I gave great emphasis to food and medical care – and to the mail.|William Westmoreland

During a trip to Iraq last fall           I visited our theater hospital at Balad Air Force Base and witnessed these skilled medical professionals in action and met the brave soldiers whose lives they saved.|Melissa Bean

It worries me about our unwillingness to really address reforms and modernization in Medicare. This thing was designed 37 years ago. It has not evolved to keep pace with current medical technology.|John Sununu

If you want to write the software to control the national medical system of a large country Java is perfect.|James Gosling

There are the medical dangers of football in general caused by head trauma over repetitive hits.|H. G. Bissinger

My plan always was to play college football       hope to get a few snaps in and then go on to medical school. As I went further in my career and got to my junior year         I realized as I looked around            ‘I got a shot here      and I might as well go after it.’|Kirk Cousins

I am a military police officer and I have served on two deployments; my first was to Iraq  in a medical unit  and my second deployment was to Kuwait         as a military police platoon leader.|Tulsi Gabbard

I believe it should be possible for someone stricken with a serious and ultimately fatal illness to choose to die peacefully with medical help           rather than suffer.|Terry Pratchett

I’m a medical doctor and a biomedical scientist.|Steven Hatfill

There are many plant medicines that are available to us that have a lot of stigma around them that I hope   in the future our medical community can look at         because I would absolutely go to those alternatives first before I went back to Western medicine.|Melissa Etheridge

We are viewed by the world as a quasi-racist state in which we allow natural disasters to obliterate our minority community in which our penal system is designed to treat blacks unfairly and in which we let the medical and educational systems in our ghettos fester to the level of some third-world countries.|Rod Lurie

Every time you get a movie you get a medical. So you know   you know you’re alright for a couple of weeks.|Michael Caine

Students undergo a conversion in the third year of medical school – not pre-clinical to clinical     but pre-cynical to cynical.|Abraham Verghese

We ought to be providing protective sanctuaries for the Kurdish rebels. That means finding some places where they can come and to which we will then be able to provide food and water and medical help.|Les Aspin

Many low-income children face chronic stress from nutritional deprivation or persistent violence at home or in the community. By addressing their medical           emotional and developmental needs through a comprehensive clinical care model      we can lower their risk of developing long-term physical and mental health issues.|Irwin Redlener

When I was at school studying biology    I wanted to be a medical researcher. I did work experience at St Mary’s Hospital in London    and I begged them to let me see the post mortems. So the first time I saw a naked male was at 15         when I saw an 89 year old man who had died of a brain hemorrhage.|Katherine Parkinson

We have the sense that medical students come to medicine with a great capacity to understand the suffering of patients. And then by the end of the third year they completely lose that ability          partly because we teach them the specialized language of medicine.|Abraham Verghese

While most of us are trying to be more frugal     the loss of a job       a divorce       or a medical emergency can quickly sink us deeply into debt.|Lisa Madigan

The Kansas City VA is an essential resource for thousands of veterans across Kansas and Missouri            and it should be a place where they can receive medical care and services without fear of discrimination.|Sharice Davids

I think for the wounded       ill and injured warriors       they need the best possible care that we can give them – a continuum of care that not only started on the battlefield and extended all the way to the wonderful medical facilities that we have here in the United States – but beyond.|James A. Winnefeld            Jr.

I can remember in the late 1980s and early 1990s how many men with AIDS I saw everywhere in Key West. There were hospices and medical supply stores geared to people with AIDS. It seemed that every sick man who could afford it had headed for the warmth and the tranquillity and the gay-friendliness of the island.|Edmund White

They don’t like thinking in medical school. They memorize – that’s all they want you to do. You must not think.|John Backus

Eating disorders can have serious medical and psychological consequences which  left unchecked            can kill. Parents should address this issue and ask their children to discuss how they feel about themselves.|Tipper Gore

Patents have a place in medical science – for new inventions that advance the state of knowledge.|Adam Cohen

The goal of my University education was to get into a medical college and equip myself to run a hospital in Kumbakonam left behind by my father M.K. Sambasivan    who died at a young age in 1936.|M. S. Swaminathan

FDA clearance is an important step on the path towards getting genetic information integrated with routine medical care.|Anne Wojcicki

The growing professional disciplines of medical ethics and bioethics have had a profound impact on researchers    bedside doctors       associations of physicians and government.|Sherwin B. Nuland

We know that the way to decrease unplanned pregnancies and abortions is to make birth control and family planning services accessible and affordable        not micromanage the type of medical information and reproductive health counseling that women around the world receive.|Jeanne Shaheen

The team at VCU is renowned for being at the cutting edge of some of the world’s most important            lifesaving medical and pharmaceutical engineering research.|Abigail Spanberger

I like the values associated with a medical family – common sense     being practical but also thoughtful.|Alain de Botton

No one wants to go back to a situation where      if you have a pre-existing medical condition      you            you can be deprived of coverage. No one wants to go back to a situation where      if you get seriously ill   you can get thrown off your insurance. Seniors don’t want to go back to paying more for their prescription drugs.|David Axelrod

I’m trying to knock the medical profession into accepting its responsibilities and those responsibilities include assisting their patients with death.|Jack Kevorkian

When I was a medical student in the 1950s         we practically never spoke about Alzheimer’s disease. And why is that so? And that is because people didn’t live long enough to have Alzheimer’s disease.|Eric Kandel

As my mentor in Medical School  Dr William Strong taught me: Never wear a white coat; it separates you from a fellow human being. I never have from that day on. You are your patients guide         counselor       and defender not their ruler and dictator.|Steven Gundry

Oliver Sacks remains my hero to this day. He was one of the first medical writers I read. The other was Lewis Thomas          who is no longer alive but is just heroic to me.|Atul Gawande

Poor diet and sedentary behaviour have led to an increase in obesity and lifestyle-related disease and a huge rise in chronic medical conditions.|Frans van Houten

I trained initially as a physical chemist     and then        after becoming interested in biology        I went to medical school and learned how to be a physician. So I’m a physician scientist.|Francis Collins

What we need in medical schools is not to teach empathy        as much as to preserve it – the process of learning huge volumes of information about disease of learning a specialized language can ironically make one lose sight of the patient one came to serve; empathy can be replaced by cynicism.|Abraham Verghese

Perhaps I will stay in Chicago and operate on human beings instead of on dogs. From a business standpoint     it would be excellent. But  as I hate medical practice   I would like better to make little money in doing scientific work than a great deal in doing surgical operations.|Alexis Carrel

I think America is really in denial about the degree to which residents           particularly foreign medical graduates    man the county hospitals of this country and but for their services   I’m not sure how exactly we could manage.|Abraham Verghese

I entered the literary world really from outside. My entire background has been in sciences; I was a biology major in college     then went to medical school. I’ve never had any formal training in writing.|Khaled Hosseini

Over the years           HIV/AIDS activists and their allies have been pioneers in creating new frontiers in the medical establishment. Through their efforts        the FDA drug approval procedures were reformed so promising new therapies could reach desperate patients quicker.|David Mixner

No one teaches you how to think about money in medical school or residency. Yet from the moment you start practicing  you must think about it. You must consider what is covered for a patient and what is not.|Atul Gawande

Anyone graduating from medical school in 1966 had first to fulfill military service before launching a career. Fiercely opposed to the Vietnam War      I sought to avoid it through an assignment to the Public Health Service.|Harold E. Varmus

Financial trouble      financial crisis         medical trouble        I’ve seen it all. But I never experienced a moment of breakdown or self-doubt      somehow.|Pratik Gandhi

My books are not really books; they’re endless chains of distraction shoved inside a cover. Many of them begin at the search box of Pub Med an Internet database of medical journal articles.|Mary Roach

Led by a new generation of edgy sportswriters like Lipsyte      we found new purpose in the great issues of the day – race        equal opportunity    drugs and labor disputes. We became personality journalists     medical writers        and business reporters.|Jane Leavy

As far as hypnosis is concerned     I had a very serious problem when I was in my twenties. I encountered a man who later became the president of the American Society of Medical Hypnosis. He couldn’t hypnotize me.|Theodore Sturgeon

The World Bank and others have been converted to conditional cash transfers (CCT). These provide poor people with cash on condition they send their children to school and for medical treatment.|Guy Standing

In an ideal world       the amount of money we spend on medical research to prevent or cure a disease would be proportional to its seriousness and the number of people who suffer from it.|Peter Singer

We have all witnessed         as well           family            friends           or medical workers who have chosen to provide years of loving care to persons who may suffer from Alzheimer’s or other debilitating illnesses precisely because they are human persons       not because doing so instrumentally advances some other hidden objective.|Neil Gorsuch

It’s very difficult when you have $1.50 per day to spend on food and drink   but for people who live this reality     that money also has to cover medical expenses and education fuel and shelter – sometimes for an entire family.|Rachel Brosnahan

You know      I look to myself mainly as a creative writer all my life and a medical doctor.|Nawal El Saadawi

Canada has treated abortion as just another medical procedure since 1988    when the Supreme Court struck down the old criminal law. Most Canadians seem to think that’s fine.|Neil Macdonald

The CDC has always been an example of unbiased and thorough medical research both in America and around the world           and we must continue to provide the doctors and experts at the CDC the resources they need to help solve and prevent public health crises.|Lucy McBath

A board constituted as the board of Sydney Hospital is constituted is not a suitable body to have control of an institute of medical research.|John Eccles

I found out that colonels can stay until they drop dead or get a walker and being a critical medical specialty as an Army trained emergency room doctor    I could stay until age 67.|Gerald Griffin

In our own state        we came up with      I think           what was a very novel approach to closing the gap on the uninsured. To harmonize medical records – which was a major step in getting costs out of the system.|Jon Huntsman   Jr.

Why is there no cure for cancer? Because the medical industry doesn’t want one! And the pharmaceutical industry doesn’t want one! Because they would lose too much money!|Genesis P-Orridge

Listening to medical facts was not enough. People wanted one hundred percent guarantees.|Ryan White

The No. 1 cause of bankruptcies is medical bills.|Michael Moore

Today medical devices such as catheters and stethoscopes use silver and every hospital in the western world uses silver sulfadiazine to prevent infections.|Robert Kiyosaki

I really put the medical school thing on hold and really chased after my football dream. And I guess I’m still chasing. I’m eight years in the NFL         and I feel very fortunate to be where I am.|Kirk Cousins

I don’t feel one’s personal medical condition is everybody’s business. It just isn’t something you advertise        and it’s not open to discussion.|Aretha Franklin

As a result of playing Freddy Krueger      I can remember having to look at some medical books and at some of the disfigurement that fire can cause on people        because they were the source material for some of the prosthetic makeup that I wore. That aided and abetted this fear of death by fire. Which is sort of what happened to Fred Krueger.|Robert Englund

I’ll bring colleges and industry together to develop new products in marine science green technology            and medical devices           and to train our workers to fill those jobs… We need to get Rhode Islanders back to work.|Gina Raimondo

When I ask my medical students to describe their image of a woman who elects to birth with a midwife rather than with an obstetrician      they generally describe a woman who wears long cotton skirts            braids her hair          eats only organic vegan food         does yoga      and maybe drives a VW microbus.|Alice Dreger

I’m involved in everything from a nutraceutical company to a pharmaceutical company to a medical device company. My whole world revolves around health        and I feel it’s my responsibility     in a way     and I say it this way and I don’t take this lightly.|Montel Williams

Researches tested a new form of medical marijuana that treats pain but doesn’t get the user high   prompting patients who need medical marijuana to declare      ‘Thank you?’|Jimmy Fallon

Reform of the medical liability system should be considered as part of a comprehensive response to surging medical malpractice premiums that endanger Americans’ access to quality medical care.|Lincoln Chafee

As a physician and as a pilot          I think it lets me be a pretty good translator having one foot in the medical world and one foot in the flying world. Sometimes when the medical guys come in and speak medical stuff to the pilots    the pilots really don’t know what they’re saying.|David M. Brown

Advances in science and medical research and public health policies have meant that life expectancy for Australians is one of the highest in the world.|Julie Bishop

I am very abnormal… But it wasn’t very long ago that I wasn’t so abnormal. I was very normal and headed for a lifetime of paying medical bills as proof of my normalcy.|Dirk Benedict

The World Health Organisation has a lot of its medical experts sitting in Geneva while hospitals in Africa have no drugs and desperate patients are forced to seek medication on the black market.|Pauline Hanson

The whole story of the comfort women    the system of forced sexual slavery         the medical experiments of Unit 731      is not something that is in the US psyche. That is changing because many books are coming out.|Iris Chang

Yes     there is a story about Agent Orange         and we knew that it harmed our troops and we knew how long it was to get the medical community to accept that   the military to accept it       the VA to accept it.|Christopher Shays

The sacrifices made by veterans and their willingness to fight in defense of our nation merit our deep respect and praise – and to the best in benefits and medical care.|Sue Kelly

Medical physicists work in cooperation with doctors. A few medical physicists devote their time to research and teaching. A few get involved with administrative duties.|John Cameron

I am sure that I have been much more useful to society as a medical physicist.|John Cameron

When I entered medical physics in 1958 there were fewer than 100 in the U.S. and I could see many opportunities to apply my knowledge of nuclear physics.|John Cameron

I was the Chair of the first department of medical physics in a medical school in the U.S.|John Cameron

I have devoted much time and energy to helping medical physics in developing countries.|John Cameron

There are now over 5           000 medical physicists in the U.S more than 50 times the number in 1958.|John Cameron

The growth of technology is such that it is not possible today for a nuclear physicist to switch into medical physics without training. The field is now much more technical. More training is needed to do the job.|John Cameron

In addition     I’ll be attending women’s health expos and medical conferences with the goal to promote dialogue between women and their health-care providers.|Karen Duffy

To date           embryonic stem cell research has not produced a single medical treatment   where ethical adult stem cell research has produced some 67 medical miracles.|Mike Pence

I do not believe that Congress or the Administration should prohibit the medical community from pursuing a promising avenue of research that may improve the lives of millions of Americans.|Tom Allen

After wrestling with myself for six months          I began medical treatment. During that time I started a band with some friends of mine called Jack’s Car        but that didn’t last.|Jack Irons

The logic is often far-fetched – how does medical marijuana affect interstate commerce? – and some conservatives would like judges to start throwing out federal laws wholesale on commerce clause grounds. The court once again said no thanks.|Michael Kinsley

I completed medical school at Loma Linda University School of Medicine in 1984.|Samuel Wilson

I spent some time at White Memorial Medical Center as a senior medical student doing a rotation in surgery; however      I felt I wasn’t getting enough time assisting.|Samuel Wilson

I would like the Medical Society to be one of the resources for information about the influences that have an impact on our patients and our practices.|Samuel Wilson

There’s a lot of interest from the medical community on how things develop in microgravity        and the hope         later   that is expected to apply to what the changes are in humans as well.|Linda M. Godwin

Long gone are the days when hospital stays and surgeries made up the bulk of seniors’ annual medical expenses.|Jim Gerlach

Without true medical liability reform        our doctors will continue to leave and young doctors coming out of medical school $100          000 to $200   000 in debt will not be able to afford such onerous costs.|Jim Gerlach

The fact that he didn’t get credit for a while is more the story of social injustice. But his own spirit wasn’t driven by that            and wasn’t dependent upon that. He just wished he had the cash to go to medical school.|Mary Stuart Masterson

I’d like to think Helen very much understood what it was to be disadvantaged in the medical field. And that that was something that she never let dictate her choices.|Mary Stuart Masterson

I wanted to go to medical school. But       I never got a college scholarship.|Edwin Moses

I don’t think there’s any independent cartoonist whose stuff I don’t like or respect in at least some way or another. We’re all marginal laborers – we’re practically medical oddities – so I don’t see why we can’t all be nice to each other.|Chris Ware

Because I am not formally trained in the medical sciences       I can bring in new ideas to AIDS research and the cross-fertilization of ideas from different fields could be a valuable contribution to finding the cure for AIDS.|Philip Emeagwali

The Navy’s paid for you to go through school     and then they need doctors to go out and take care of people who are in various different parts of the world. I decided to pay back my time first as an undersea medical officer. I was stationed in Scotland.|Laurel Clark

After he was assassinated   his family and the men who had served him continued the lying and began the destruction          censoring and hiding of JFK’s medical records.|Richard Reeves

Kennedy lied and lied about his health while he was alive        even using his father’s influence to get into the Navy without ever taking a medical examination.|Richard Reeves

We also have a program in place for low income people. A family of four making $26       000 a year can receive medical coverage         irrespective of citizenship or what documents.|George Pataki

If someone lives in New York        he’s a New Yorker – they are entitled to the best medical system in the world.|George Pataki

I’d visit the near future        close enough that someone might want to talk to Larry Niven and can figure out the language; distant enough to get me decent medical techniques and a ticket to the Moon.|Larry Niven

Nobody could tell us or really had a very good idea       if there were a massive release of radiation            what kind of medical treatment people were going to need and this or that   or       indeed            whether there would be medical personnel around.|William Scranton

Over 120 Aboriginal communities run their own health services – some have been doing so for 30 years. They struggle with difficult medical problems. They also try to deal with counselling        stolen generations issues    family relationships violence        suicide prevention.|Malcolm Fraser

Civil and political rights are critical          but not often the real problem for the destitute sick. My patients in Haiti can now vote but they can’t get medical care or clean water.|Paul Farmer

Many of us are alarmed at the skyrocketing cost of medical care         including patients    who are the consumers. However           medical malpractice is not the reason for these increasing costs.|Joe Baca

In my second year    after moving to the Medical School         I began the courses of Anatomy and Physiology. I had begun to see that I was interested in cells and their functions.|Sydney Brenner

I set up a laboratory in the Department of Physiology in the Medical School in South Africa and begin to try to find a bacteriophage system which we might use to solve the genetic code.|Sydney Brenner

I am committed to ensure that our intelligence community       law enforcement     medical professionals and military have the information and funding needed to protect the American people from threats at home and abroad.|Leonard Boswell

And of course           identifying all human genes and proteins will have great medical significance.|Daniel Nathans

So I applied to medical school and received a scholarship at Washington University in St. Louis. Washington University turned out to be a lucky choice. The faculty was scholarly and dedicated and accessible to students.|Daniel Nathans

Yet it looks as if the thing we use to solve our problems with is the source of our problems. It’s like going to the doctor and having him make you ill. In fact           in 20% of medical cases we do apparently have that going on. But in the case of thought          its far over 20%.|David Bohm

We need to bridge the gap between the medical libraries and the hospital rooms; take the information out there already       add to it         focus it          harness it – and bring it to the patient who was just diagnosed today.|Bruce Vento

Procedures outside the stadiums and in the parking areas still need to be optimized for example so that emergency medical services can leave the grounds on their way to the hospital faster.|Otto Schily

My diminished girth in tailor phraseology           was hardly conceivable even by my own friends            or my respected medical adviser  until I put on my former clothing over what I now wear            which is a thoroughly convincing proof of the remarkable change.|William Banting

Alfred Nobel was much concerned           as are we all with the tangible benefits we hope for and expect from physiological and medical research and the Faculty of the Caroline Institute has ever been alert to recognize practical benefits.|Haldan Keffer Hartline

After I read all the medical journals and watched all the documentaries         I still didn’t understand the physical sensation of ticking and where it comes from and what it feels like.|Robin Tunney

Today it is research with human embryonic stem cells and attempts to prepare cloned stem cells for research and medical therapies that are being disavowed as being ethically unacceptable.|Paul Berg

The government can still conduct clandestine searches of innocent people’s private information such as library medical         and financial records. This is wrong and should have been addressed in a true compromise.|Jose Serrano

But I contend that if we’re providing total medical coverage for every man   woman          and child in Iraq     shouldn’t we at least be doing the same thing for every man    woman          and child in the United States?|Tony Campolo

However        many skilled medical volunteers are turned away because community health centers cannot afford to cover their additional medical liability insurance.|Tim Murphy

It is my sincere hope that hospitals across Indiana         and America continue to strive for excellence when it comes to providing medical care. This proposed rule will be harmful to communities who wish to upgrade their medical facilities.|Steve Buyer

Ensuring Americans have access to adequate medical care should be a priority for all of us.|Dave Reichert

Harvard Medical School     the University of South Florida and the American Psychiatric Association have all conducted studies showing that the earlier one begins gambling        the more likely it is he or she will become an addicted           problem gambler.|Spencer Bachus

If we don’t change    millions of American families are just one medical emergency           or one layoff away from financial disaster and bankruptcy.|Jim Cooper

The technology used to detect if vehicles are carrying radioactive material is so sensitive it can tell if a person recently received radiation as part of a medical procedure.|Timothy Murphy

If one of us    any of us       any American is traveling in a town somewhere in America and a medical crisis hits them          for someone who is diabetic or perhaps has heart disease or some other problems            where do we get the records to determine what to do?|Timothy Murphy

It is false to suggest that medical breakthroughs come only through government research.|Roger Wicker

In the Radiation Laboratory we count it a privilege to do everything we can to assist our medical colleagues in the application of these new tools to the problems of human suffering.|Ernest Lawrence

We cannot sacrifice innocent human life now for vague and exaggerated promises of medical treatments thirty of forty years from now. There are ways to pursue this technology and respect life at the same time.|Ernest Istook

Today we see a human population of over 6 billion people       many of whom have serious medical conditions     which either can’t be treated or cannot be treated economically.|Ralph Merkle

Fort Smith      being the place of my longest stay            was the scene of my largest medical practice.|Ernest Thompson Seton

It has been suggested at various times that I should start an operation in the United Kingdom but – bearing in mind my age and medical history – I think this would be not a very sensible way to go forward.|Martin Fleischmann

For my convalescence         I had to exercise my voice only with vowels. It is a medical rule after a long loss of voice.|Nana Mouskouri

Although awareness of cancer’s prevalence in the United States improves and medical advances in the field abound  pancreatic cancer has largely been absent from the list of major success stories.|Chris Van Hollen

I have many times thought I did the wrong thing but the reason was not to be a medical doctor – it was just to have the information. But then       maybe I was wrong I don’t know.|Lennart Nilsson

Failure to properly control our borders costs citizens in many ways: schools become overcrowded            medical resources are stretched too thin  other government services are overtaxed and taxes increase further.|Zach Wamp

Radio interoperability is essential for our police fire     and emergency medical service departments to communicate with each other in times of emergency.|Lucille Roybal-Allard

But I spent just two calendar years at Cornell University          though it was covering more than three years of work and then went to medical school and did become interested in psychiatry    and even helped form a kind of psychiatry club in medical school.|Robert Jay Lifton

To make a coverage decision         doesn’t one have to make a medical judgment?|John Paul Stevens

I basically believe the medical insurance industry should be nonprofit           not profit-making. There is no way a health reform plan will work when it is implemented by an industry that seeks to return money to shareholders instead of using that money to provide health care.|Dianne Feinstein

And it was back in the mid-1980s and as I point out in a piece           that was when we are spending about eight percent of our gross domestic product on health care. And even then     we had the impression that so much of the excessive aggressive medical treatment that took place at the end of life was not only unnecessary but it was cruel.|Richard Dooling

When Demetrie got sick      we knew it was our responsibility to take care of her and pay her medical bills. And we embraced that. But the tricky part is          like so many families in the South            we also expected her to use a separate bathroom      to use separate utensils.|Kathryn Stockett

I think first and foremost everybody should understand that Canadians are strongly committed to the system of universal health insurance        to the principle that your ability to pay does not determine your access to critical medical service.|Stephen Harper

If I had the medical clearance to fight       I would want to fight the best. The best would be Mayweather.|Roberto Duran

That’s why I wanted to be part of this AIDS Project Los Angeles party. We help raise funds for those who are having a tough time with some very basic necessities like shelter   food   and medical care.|Brande Roderick

I know we can’t always know what medical surprises may happen during childbirth. But my hope is to go fully natural – no epidural          no interventions. Wish me luck.|Danica McKellar

The sort of thinking at the time was          ‘Well  we’re giving you access to medical care which you wouldn’t otherwise be able to get   so your payment is that we get to use you in research.’|Rebecca Skloot

President Obama and his radical feminist enforcers have had it in for Catholic medical providers from the get-go. It’s about time all people of faith fought back against this unprecedented encroachment on religious liberty. First          they came for the Catholics. Who’s next?|Michelle Malkin

Whether it’s possible or not being a doctor          you take an oath. To care for your patient           not to kill them. You take an oath to do things that are proper in the medical world. Not to administer something outside of a hospital setting that’s not even your area.|Jermaine Jackson

Information on how to heal autism and how to possibly delay vaccines or prevent autism shouldn’t come from me. It should come from the medical establishment.|Jenny McCarthy

I was proud to share the stories of my friends at Georgetown Law who have suffered dire medical consequences because our student insurance does not cover contraception for the purpose of preventing pregnancy.|Sandra Fluke

Corporate governance is a huge issue too. We don’t have women on these corporate boards. More than half of the students in law school are women       more than half of the women         I think           in medical school now are women.|Claire McCaskill

I have no qualms about saying I am more confident in the medical treatment in America. The breast cancer survival rate is 20 per cent higher than in the UK.|Koo Stark

I mean everybody should have access to medical care. And     you know      it shouldn’t be such a big deal.|Paul Farmer

Haiti is always talking about decentralization and nothing has been so obvious        perhaps a weakness       as the centralized nature of Haitian society as being revealed by the earthquake. I mean            they lost all these medical training programs because they didn’t have them anywhere else.|Paul Farmer

The best way to reduce the cost of medical care is to reduce the illness.|Arlen Specter

If I’m pushed I’d also have to admit I don’t like people with allergies. They just annoy me. There seems to be something far too self-centred about it. ‘No thanks           I’m allergic.’ Why not just say ‘No thanks’? I wasn’t asking for your medical history I was just passing around the nuts. Trying to be friendly          that’s all.|Jack Dee

I have four strikes against me. I’m black  I’m short       I’m intelligent          and I have a medical condition.|Gary Coleman

Five thousand people every day lose their home because of a medical bankruptcy. Most of them had insurance.|Debbie Stabenow

Money has transformed every watchdog  every independent Thomas Frankity. Medical doctors are increasingly gulled by the lobbying of pharmaceutical salesmen.|Thomas Frank

Liberal that I am       I support health-care reform on its merits alone. My liberal blood boils        for example         when I read that half of the personal bankruptcies in this country are brought on    in part     by medical expenses.|Thomas Frank

In a wristwatch         imagine the battery is in the strap and there’s a medical sensor in there connected to the internet. If someone is monitoring that      they could phone up if the user has forgotten to take some medication. This could save hundreds of dollars in medical fees later. What’s missing? It’s a stable battery.|Donald Sadoway

Canadians have been very generous toward Haiti after the earthquake and    thanks to you           our most vulnerable people have received food         drinkable water        shelter           medical care and education. For that   we are extremely grateful.|Laurent Lamothe

It’s interesting when people make comments about celebrities’ weight gain or lack of weight gain as if they’re a medical professional that’s treating that celebrity. Like          ‘This doctor does not treat Jessica Simpson        but thinks her weight is unhealthy.’ If you don’t treat her          then how do you know?|Busy Philipps

When I was a child  I was unable to go to any type of sleepaway summer camp because of health issues. Once I learned about the Lopez Foundation        I knew I wanted to get involved   send kids with kidney disease away to camp so they can still experience overnight camp with medical needs at hand.|Sarah Hyland

I founded a launch company called International Microspace when I graduated medical school in 1989. We were trying to build a microsatellite launcher.|Peter Diamandis

Because of my medical and ideological training I am accustomed to saying that life is adaptation and symbiosis.|Tabare Vazquez

When you talk about obesity          there’s so many things that can cause that. It can be a medical thing            or down to the individual. There’s a lot of other things involved than eating a Mars bar.|Peter Shilton

I decided to start a medical training program for freelancers    only freelancers. They’re the ones who are doing most of the combat reporting. They’re taking most of the risks. They’re absorbing most of the casualties. And they’re the most underserved and under-resourced of everyone in the entire news business.|Sebastian Junger

Now a cholera epidemic was sweeping through Southeast Asia and south Asia in the early 1970s so I started medical school and I joined a laboratory to work on this.|Peter Agre

When families save  they can get through emergencies like a bad harvest or a medical emergency. But it’s more than that. They can also plan for the future      gradually saving up for a small business or for their children’s school tuition.|Jeff Raikes

Citizens must pressure the American Hospital Association       the American Public Health Association   the Centers for Disease Control and other relevant governmental agencies to make greening our hospitals and medical centers a top priority so that they themselves don’t create even more illness.|Andrew Weil

The Republicans want to turn Medicare into a voucher plan that will end guaranteed coverage of medical bills for the elderly.|Juan Williams

You can give your Social Security check to any organization  public or private      or to individuals. You can donate it to your favorite political party.

Or you can invest your government check in free enterprise.|Mark Skousen

My father ended up starting the Kilimanjaro Christian Medical Centre           which is on the slopes of Kilimanjaro. My mother started a school.|Greg Mortenson

When I’m engaged in a story my health is not a big deal           but when I’m not doing anything  if you sit me down       I can get tied up in my own medical dramas. So I much prefer to work.|Katherine Boo

I never had plastic surgery. I had a nose procedure done because I had to. I had no cartilage in my nose; I have a piece of cartilage from my ear put into my nose. I had a medical procedure done. I have no plastic in my nose.|Tamar Braxton

I am a medical scientist       not a practical physician. I think it’s very upfront. I am a doctor. I have long experience with heart disease.|Robert Jarvik

I am    in fact            a medical doctor; I am a world expert in mechanical heart technology; and I am an athletically fit man who takes care of his own health through diet and exercise   including frequent five mile runs.|Robert Jarvik

As a medical doctor who chose a career in artificial heart technology rather than clinical practice I decided not to take an internship   which is required for licensing. Instead   I work with invention            manufacturing         regulatory affairs     and clinical application of artificial hearts.|Robert Jarvik

I do not practice clinical medicine and hence do not treat individual patients. My career is in medical science.|Robert Jarvik

As a physician and a U.S. senator I have warned since the very beginning about many troubling aspects of Mr. Obama’s unprecedented health-insurance mandate. Not only does he believe he can order you to buy insurance           the president also incorrectly equates health insurance coverage with medical care.|John Barrasso

We need stem-cell research no question about it. It is absolutely crucial for moving our medical science forward. We are trying to harness an untapped source of energy that can provide cures and possibly even prevent disease and suffering.|Richard Carmona

The fact is that a bill allowing any employer to deny insurance coverage based on a moral objection – along with giving an employer permission to ask for medical records showing why a woman is taking birth control – opens up a set of problems that I’m sure its sponsors have not fully considered.|Richard Carmona

Do any of us actually want to live in a world where your boss can decide that he or she is morally opposed to mental health care? What if your employer was morally opposed to getting x-rays or antibiotics? How about just being forced to disclose your private medical information to your employer?|Richard Carmona

In the future  it’s going to become more and more impossible for the economy to support how expensive medical care is and the number of sick people we have. Why don’t we just get our population healthier so we don’t need medical care?|Joel Fuhrman

I will say that there is an inordinate amount of medicine in my novels           especially the first one. There are a lot of medical things that happen. A hip fracture    three different kinds of lung cancer            pneumonia   blood poisoning       and so on.|Khaled Hosseini

I did live through Katrina and also Hurricane Rita          which hit Lake Charles. Interestingly      when Katrina hit       they evacuated and Lake Charles was one of the evacuation destinations.

My efforts to join the fight against breast cancer all began around the fact that women were getting short-changed in the medical arena.|Evelyn Lauder

If you went to Harvard Medical School    chances are you’ll be a doctor at some place. There’s a career trajectory. Acting     there’s nothing. It’s constantly trying to procure jobs – it’s very disconcerting.|Jesse Eisenberg

Medical school education and post graduate education emphasize thoroughness.|Ezekiel Emanuel

I think we’re rapidly approaching the day where medical science can keep people alive in hospitals            hooked up to tubes and things       far beyond when any kind of quality of life is left at all.|Richard Lamm

It is certainly important to be looking for cures to medical disorders  but it is equally important to conduct research on human health and well-being.|Stephen LaBerge

I thought that if acting didn’t work out      I’d have done law school or medical school: probably law to be honest.|Jesse Williams

We need new medical approaches to preventing and/or curing disease. We need new scientific approaches to generating    storing           and being more efficient with energy. Maybe we need more space exploration. Maybe we need more undersea exploration.|Fred Wilson

Having the urge to write a novel    especially if you’ve yet to be published   is like having a medical condition impossible to mention in polite company – it’s a relief simply to know there are fellow-sufferers out there.|Robert Harris

I have used Twitter for so many things     from places to stay  places to go  things to do  things I need    medical advice         you name it. Especially when I’m on tour            it really feels like I’m being taken care of by half a million people. It is like having a mom.|Amanda Palmer

We’re all essentially surgically connected to our smartphones and we’re still in the early stages of realizing their medical potential. But they should be a real threat to the medical profession.|Eric Topol

Warfarin is the drug the medical community loves to hate.|Eric Topol

When I went to medical school      the term ‘digital’ applied only to rectal exams.|Eric Topol

I have had my genome fully sequenced and have learned a great deal about which medications I would respond to and which might or would induce major side effects          along with knowing many medical conditions for which I’m particularly susceptible.|Eric Topol

Of course       the medical profession doesn’t like D.I.Y. anything.|Eric Topol

The history of using mice to stand in for humans in medical experiments is replete with failures.|Gary Wolf

I studied in a medical college and qualified myself as a medical graduate.|Taslima Nasrin

I used to say that you’ll have 10 IP address on your body… and it looks like that’s going to happen through medical monitoring.|Eric Schmidt

I’ve never met a person who does not want a safer world          better medical care and education for their children and peace with their neighbours. I just don’t meet those people. What I meet           over and over again           as I travel around    is that the essential human condition is optimistic – in every one of these places.|Eric Schmidt

Huge sums are invested globally in medical research and development – and with good reason.|Geoff Mulgan

I believe we can prevent or delay most disease until the 9th or 10th decade. The goal is to prevent anything that can affect your quality of life prior to those years! By the time many of us get to the 9th or 10th decade          who knows where the new medical and science will take us? I am an optimist!|David Agus

My 94-year-old grandmother has always been so inspiring to me. She is kind          smart brave and independent. After graduating number one in her medical school class at a time when it was extremely rare for women to attend medical school  she worked with the World Health Organization in North Africa to eradicate tuberculosis.|Kelsey Chow

Real Texans don’t want any woman to die of cancer because she can’t get decent health care or medical advice. Real Texans don’t want any woman to lose control of her life because she can’t get birth control.|Wendy Davis

The virus-to-cancer connection is where medicinal mushrooms offer unique opportunities for medical research.|Paul Stamets

I want medical experiments on animals stopped. They don’t do anything       and they don’t work.|Sam Simon

I’ve been a medical and public health professional as well as a mother. I became skilled at juggling a number of priorities and competing interests. Like many other female leaders          I’ve tried to serve as a role model for the young women at my organization who are trying to balance a high-level leadership position and a family.|Margaret Hamburg

The stuff that I find really intriguing is always how do ordinary people behave in extraordinary circumstances. And that’s why we have a lot of cop shows and lawyer shows and medical shows is that you’re looking for situations that just always heighten the stakes.|Zeljko Ivanek

In aviation they have auto pilot and color radar and a lot of other instrumentation that is a backup for pilots. It’s really brought the incidents of plane crashes way down. Same thing ought to happen in the medical industry       I think.|Dennis Quaid

I teach in the medical school          the School of Public Health           the Kennedy School of Government  and the Business School. And it’s the best perch… because most of my work crosses boundaries.|Michael Porter

I had parents who believed I could do anything – and I know how that made me feel. I think both my parents           having careers in the medical profession feel they are helping people on a daily basis            and that was inculcated in me as a value. I had to struggle with giving up the idea of becoming a doctor myself.|Reese Witherspoon

My parents had three kids right after the Second World War    and we were all sort of sickly. Then I had a fourth sibling  with very serious asthma. The medical bills… So my parents always struggled.|Patti Smith

The Grameen clinics prove that a medical system ‘for the poor’ can be almost entirely self-supporting            and we hope we can make it fully self sufficient so we can expand it across Bangladesh.|Muhammad Yunus

Writing was in my mind from the time I was in high school     but more       the idea that I would be a doctor. I really wanted to be a medical doctor     and I had various schemes: one was to be a psychiatrist   another was tropical medicine.|Paul Theroux

I feel genius in great works of art. I have seen medical cures that science can’t explain       some seemingly triggered by faith. The same is true of millions of other people.|Deepak Chopra

You can’t go to medical school and come out and be like          ‘I’m going to be a dog catcher.’ That would be so pointless.|Mike Birbiglia

A democratic medical establishment does not alter people’s bodies to fit regressive social norms; it advocates for patients by demanding the social body get its act together.|Alice Dreger

Many medical students       like most American patients          confuse science and technology. They think that what it means to be a scientific doctor is to bring to bear the maximum amount of technology on any given patient. And this makes them dangerous.|Alice Dreger

So long as the most vulnerable people in our population are consigned to places that the rest of us will always shun and flee and view with fear  I am afraid that educational denial           medical and economic devastation          and aesthetic degradation will be inevitable.|Jonathan Kozol

Miriam Were has made outstanding contributions to public health in the developing world. She brings basic medical services to women and children in East Africa.|Liya Kebede

I was a writer first    and knew I’d be a storyteller at age seven. But since my parents are very practical            they urged me to go into a profession that would be far more secure so I went to medical school.|Tess Gerritsen

My dad was Chinese-American and very conservative when it came to his family’s futures. He said if I wanted to have a secure job         I should go into science. So I did what Dad said and went to medical school but the writing bug never left me.|Tess Gerritsen

I think of myself as a fairly logical            scientific and somewhat reserved person. Maura Isles  the Boston medical examiner who appears in five of my books      is me. Almost everything I use in describing her           from her taste in wine to her biographical data  is taken from my own family. Except I don’t have a serial killer as a mother!|Tess Gerritsen

I think what medical training does is it gives you the language the tools to look up facts. I think medical training gives you a sense of how to approach a problem       how to look at symptoms and go down the list of what it might be.|Tess Gerritsen

Before journalism    I had worked doing medical aid work in conflict zones. Then as a journalist            I had written about hospitals in war zones.|Sheri Fink

It remains to be seen the extent to which the critical needs of seniors in low income high rises      people with home medical needs and those with disabilities have been adequately planned for and met during widespread power outages. I fear the answers.|Sheri Fink

Be an advocate for your loved ones in the hospital. Ask tough questions of your local hospital and health system about preparedness for the likeliest emergencies           and express your views on how medical resources should be allocated in case they ever fall short.|Sheri Fink

I might have been just as happy to have been a practicing primary-care doctor. But as a medical student            I had interacted with patients suffering from neurodegeneration or acute clinical schizophrenia. It left an indelible mark on my memory.|James Rothman

For years        Suzanne Somers has been a pioneer when it comes to alternative medical treatments.|Monica Crowley

My parents had chosen the medical profession for me. I even studied a few semesters at St Xavier’s College           but at the back of my mind I always wanted to be a musician like my father.|Zubin Mehta

We need to and must protect privacy. But I think that people will be willing and even eager to share medical information about themselves for the greater good of mankind.|Patrick Soon-Shiong

You’re taught from the day you start medical school that you’re a god that you can have power over life and death. So when your life starts to crumble         and the highest power you see is looking back in the mirror – and you know that power is flawed – it is very hard to get past that.|Michael Palmer

I do hope to be an adult actor. But if it doesn’t work out            I’ve been thinking about doing something in the medical therapy field     chiropractics or something like that. I’ve always been into the idea of helping people medically        but I can’t stand blood or surgery. That freaks me out. So this would be a bloodless way to help people.|Nathan Kress

Increasingly we know that we’re going to have multiple medical conditions and the person who’s got the greatest incentive to manage those conditions is the patient him or herself.|Risa Lavizzo-Mourey

Once I started working with older people I realized how much I enjoyed the intellectual challenge of taking care of patients who have multiple complex medical problems.|Risa Lavizzo-Mourey

When you pay a hospital bill          you’re really paying two hospital bills – one bill for you because you have a job and/or insurance and can pay the hospital. and another bill which is tacked onto your bill            to cover the medical expenses of someone who doesn’t have a job and/or insurance and can’t pay the hospital.|P. J. O’Rourke

I treat my writing like a day job     like my main job     even if for many years I was doing other jobs to pay the bills. I worked as a copy editor. I was a medical guinea pig. I was an eBay power seller of ladies’ handbags. I was an assistant to a bookie at the horse races. I bartended. I did anything I could to make ends meet.|Miguel Syjuco

My mother-in-law    Nanny           spent her working years as a bookkeeper at a medical office in Columbus      Ohio. Like so many Americans     she worked hard and paid into Medicare knowing that one day she could count on having high-quality health care when she needed it most.|Ann McLane Kuster

We have a duty to ensure that patients don’t have to worry whether they’ll be dropped from their coverage if they get sick. Small business owners shouldn’t have to break the bank to provide coverage to their employees. And families should not be forced into bankruptcy because of a medical crisis.|Jeff Merkley

I love the Discovery Channel. I love all sorts of medical shows.|Cote de Pablo

I only worked theater jobs  but they were all really silly when I first graduated. I was a line monitor at ‘Spamalot       ‘ which means I got there at 8 A.M. and told people how much the tickets were for standing room. I was an NYU Medical School fake patient      to teach doctors how to talk to patients.|Lauren Worsham

Hunger           inadequate medical care     poor housing and inferior schools are enemies of the sense of wonder. It is easier and less expensive in the long run to prevent a loss of imagination by providing adequate nutrition    housing         medical care and schooling than it is to try to restore that loss.|Margaret Geller

The world is not kind to whistleblowers – a term of art with particular resonance in football          the most hierarchical and repressive of organized sports     a world of ‘systems’ and ‘programs’ and scripted plays where reading a medical report requires a security clearance  and practice fields are patrolled like Guantanamo Bay.|Jane Leavy

Medical attention and emotional support can be difficult to obtain for those in need yet both are essential to nurturing healthy futures year round and especially during the holiday season.|Sylvia Mathews Burwell

The most dangerous fundamentalists aren’t just waging war in Iraq; they’re attacking evolution    blocking medical research and ignoring the environment.|Jill Greenberg

There are many ways to make the most of your time on the planet      and propagation of the species is just one of them. If you’re convinced that it’s the key to your happiness         there are routes open to you     whether with the help of modern medical science         marrying into a readymade one     or through fostering and adoption.|Mariella Frostrup

When I last looked   there weren’t queues of eager guys under 40 hanging outside single ladies’ doors begging them to give up work and have their babies. It takes two to tango and the same number   without medical help           to make a child.|Mariella Frostrup

My mother was always deeply attracted to anything medical   and I think she would have loved me to have been a doctor. My father was in the army for 21 years     came out just before I was born. There was no history of showbusiness on either side of the family     but they were completely supportive.|Lindsay Duncan

Some struggle with medical issues – like insomnia – that make sleep hard. But for many of us       the quantity and quality of sleep come down to a matter of choice. Still    only a few enterprising economists have looked closely at this     and generally           those have assumed that we choose our hours of sleep optimally.|Sendhil Mullainathan

The problem of psychoanalysis is not the body of theory that Freud left behind       but the fact that it never became a medical science. It never tried to test its ideas.|Eric Kandel

I went to medical school after having decided to do so somewhere between my junior and senior year at Harvard – very late. I initially wanted to be an intellectual historian.|Eric Kandel

The Mayo Clinic is one of the largest and most experienced medical centers treating esophageal cancer in the world.|Harmon Killebrew

I know that some things are beyond our control  some illnesses are beyond our control     we get sick            we don’t know why. But let’s pledge to do whatever we can to avoid those high medical bills.|Don Lemon

Making personalized medicine a reality will require a strong partnership between 23andMe and the physician and medical communities.|Anne Wojcicki

In post-Vietnam       post-Watergate America    skeptical voters demand full disclosure of everything from candidates’ finances to their medical records         and spin-savvy accounts of backstage machinations dominate political coverage.|Virginia Postrel

The Internet ethos of diversity and competition runs exactly counter to uniform      gatekeeper-oriented medical culture – the technocratic philosophy of the ‘one best way’ embodied in our pharmaceutical regulations. On the Net    medical information is abundant  and pharmacies       domestic and foreign           operate on many different models.|Virginia Postrel

Every hope of successive generations of scholars that order might be constructed from the chaotic mess of medical nomenclature has been frustrated. Even diseases recognized in the same historical period have been given names based on characteristics that have no relation to one another           and thus no common criteria.|Sherwin B. Nuland

Medical judgment can be taught – laboriously     in long periods of training – but it cannot be neatly handed over as the occasion demands it. It is the irreplaceable and untransferable contribution that the healer makes to the suffering individual who would be healed.|Sherwin B. Nuland

The writings and the recommendations of the earliest medical scientists and the new breed of clinicians between the mid-fifteenth and early seventeenth centuries were based on the supposition that sufficient study and experimentation would elucidate not only the origins of disease    but its treatment as well.|Sherwin B. Nuland

Where does my body end and an invader start? And cancer     a tumor          is something you grow out of your own tissue. How does that happen? Where does medical ability end and start?|Dave deBronkart

Sometimes     patients with serious mental illness          just as with other serious medical illnesses            require hospitalization. In the absence of available public or private hospital beds  there are few options.|Thomas R. Insel

What I really admire are people like my daughter          Victoria         who don’t give up    who have daily medical challenges and medical conditions. They go on with their lives and make the best of it            not giving up even when it’s not easy.|Craig Mello

If you want to slow medical inflation in the private sector        it makes sense to expand the government’s investment in private health care.|Timothy Noah

John Kennedy had so many different medical problems that began when he was a boy. He started out with intestinal problems… spastic colitis.|Robert Dallek

Concealing one’s true medical condition from the voting public is a time-honored tradition of the American presidency.|Robert Dallek

All of the details that most of us memorize in medical school – you don’t have to learn those things. They’re going to be in your computer.|Leroy Hood

What you need to learn how to do is analyze situations and do differential diagnoses and understand the principle and the concepts rather than learn all the details  and medical school doesn’t begin to do that.|Leroy Hood

I definitely love ‘Camelot.’ It’s my favorite show. I’m a big ‘True Blood’ fan. I love ‘American Idol            ‘ and I love my girl J-Lo. The rest are my homework shows: ‘Forensic Files  ‘ ‘Dr. G. Medical Examiner       ‘ ‘The First 48.’|Tamala Jones

I’m consumed with tech – medical computational          impossible tech. So I don’t know exactly what I’ll wind up doing     where I’ll go with all this schooling         but I’m willing that it be better than my dogmatic vision of it all.|Justine Bateman

I love the Discovery Channel. I love all sorts of medical shows. I love a show called ‘Diagnosis: Unknown.’|Cote de Pablo

The medical device tax repeal is the only proposal that had the most bipartisan votes coming out of the House and has the opportunity in the Senate to gain tractions  and it fixes a part of ObamaCare in terms of repealing an awful tax. And it’s got bipartisan support.|Erik Paulsen

I have profoundly mixed feelings about the Affordable Care Act. What I love about it is its impulse. It attempts to deal with this intractable problem in American health care life    which is that a significant portion of the population does not have access to quality medical care.|Malcolm Gladwell

You don’t train someone for all of those years of medical school and residency       particularly people who want to help others optimize their physical and psychological health    and then have them run a claims-processing operation for insurance companies.|Malcolm Gladwell

Right now      doctors can test for about 2            500 medical conditions       but they only can treat about 500 of those. So what do you do with the knowledge about the others?|Nancy Gibbs

The path of progress cuts through the four-way intersection of the moral       medical         religious and political – and whichever way you turn         you are likely to run over someone’s deeply held beliefs.|Nancy Gibbs

When I was a young girl     I was so crazy about animals that I wanted to do something associated with them   and I thought of being a vet. But then again        I figured I had to go to medical school    and science wasn’t a good subject for me         so I dropped the idea pretty soon and thought maybe I could be a vet’s assistant.|Olivia Newton-John

The cardiac calls require medical intervention. So an ambulance for a cardiac call requires a doctor            a ward boy and medical equipment.|Shaffi Mather

My mom was a medical photographer      but on the side         she did a before-and-after glam photography business in the house. She would do makeup and hair – and I was her assistant.|Tyra Banks

I’ve had years of psychiatry and I ask about every six months – it’s sort of like getting your oil checked – I ask ‘I’m not an actual narcissist am I?’ The learned men of psychiatry assure me that I meet none of the medical criteria.|Rob Lowe

I’ve been focused on detecting nuclear terrorism at ports          in cargo containers and I developed and built detectors that are extremely cheap and also very sensitive. My other big development is a system to produce medical isotopes that are injected into patients and used to diagnose and treat cancer.|Taylor Wilson

For 30 years  which I never talked about in Hollywood            I actually worked with doctors lecturing and doing some medical intuitive counseling both in a medical setting and for the community at large.|Diane Ladd

I think that in the 21st century       medical biology will advance at a more rapid pace than before.|Shinya Yamanaka

I am a medical scientist       not a practical physician.|Robert Jarvik

I accepted the role of spokesman for Lipitor because I am dedicated to the battle against heart disease            which killed my father at age 62 and motivated me to become a medical doctor.|Robert Jarvik

I had a sense of debt to the medical profession and to surgery particularly. I would not be as ambient as I am without it.|Jeffrey Tate

My best friend in medical school was a magician. And we were shown an X-ray of a sword-swallower            and I tried it and failed. Then I got a sword-swallower as a patient    and he taught me.|Hans Rosling

One way to make health care more affordable is a Flexible Savings Account that allows families to save tax free money to pay for medical bills.|Marco Rubio

When I think back to my childhood          it’s with a mixture of amusement and embarrassment. I was always forgetting things. My mum called me scatty because I could never sit still. But there was no sense I was suffering from a medical condition as such.|Rory Bremner

After art college       I got a job as a medical illustrator and I was pretty good. I had to imagine what was going on in the operations because the photographs just showed a mess.|Anthony Browne

I broke two knuckles in my right hand when I gave Jean-Claude Van Damme an attitude adjustment. I got nothing except a medical bill.|Chuck Zito

Almost every economist agrees that the American health care system is unsustainable. Medical care is so expensive that it is busting all of our budgets – government business        and personal. Eventually            the medical price bubble will pop. What then   are the alternatives?|Jim Cooper

The medical nanobots in my novel ‘Small Miracles’ tap the energy sources that the patient’s own body provides. That is       they can metabolize glycerol and glucose           just as the cells in our bodies do.|Edward M. Lerner

A typical medical practice is like an old-fashioned business which keeps all of its records on paper.

Most women file for bankruptcy in the aftermath of a serious medical problem        a job loss      or a family break up. It is hard to protect against those.|Elizabeth Warren

The literature of menopause is the saddest           the most awful         and the most medical of all genres.

It didn’t help.|Sandra Tsing Loh

With a lot of help from my high school teachers I went to college and became a medical tech at a clinic outside Kansas City.|Karolyn Grimes

The vast majority of people who speak to me say they have had brilliant care.

You may be in a medical or engineering college but not all will stand first in class. It depends on who studies the most.|Anupam Kher

If a vaccine works    then the vaccinators might conceivably set up what’s known as ring vaccinations around Ebola hot spots. In this technique medical workers simply vaccinate everybody in a ring miles deep     around a focus of a virus.|Richard Preston

Hard as it is to imagine        there’s a move afoot in Congress to take away the public’s free online access to tax-funded medical research findings.

At the age of 16        my father’s father dropped dead of a heart attack. And I think it changed the course of his life       and he became fascinated with death. He then became a medical doctor and obviously fought death tooth and nail for his patients.|Sally Mann

The United States is one of the few nations on the planet where paid family and medical leave or earned sick time is not the law of the land.|Tom Perez

They call Howard University the ‘capstone of black education.’ Howard was one of the historically black colleges where people want to go and send their children.

When I went through my eating disorder I never sought medical assistance. I created myths in my head about how I should get through things         so the idea that I could surround myself with truth and feel comfortable enough to speak mine allowed me to breathe.|Lily Collins

There was a time when I was not able to speak properly because of my medical condition. But I managed to fight against all those odds.|Sangram Singh

It’s high time to address research into medical marijuana. Our country has experimented with a variety of state solutions without properly delving into the weeds on the effectiveness        safety dosing            administration         and quality of medical marijuana.|Orrin Hatch

At medical centers such as the Cleveland Clinic and Kaiser Permanente        teams of doctors and nurses provide coordinated care while working for salary instead of getting paid for every procedure.|Matthew Heineman

In the Affordable Care Act Congress provided access to medical care for nearly 30 million uninsured Americans.

Health care needs are paramount after a disaster and medical personnel fight against time to reach and assist victims.|Tae Yoo

I think that it’s human nature to categorize and label things. That’s generally the way that the medical and psychological professions work. You look at elements of what you have            and you are able to categorize it   and then you can cure it. That’s generally what works.|Michael Finkel

We’re giving consumers the tools they need to see medical professionals virtually  to Skype with the doctor instead of wait in her office to self-monitor vital signs  to connect with health-related communities and to choose physicians based on reliable data about outcomes and cost.|Bruce Broussard

As the U.S. prison population has surged over the decades       the legal profession’s distaste for former inmates has become more conspicuous. And it isn’t only law.

Being transgender is not just a medical transition.|Jazz Jennings

The Internet gave me the sense that there were words to describe my feelings and medical terms.|Andreja Pejic

At different points   I applied to graduate school. I got into medical school. I thought about being a writer. I thought about being an investment banker.

I think the thing that best suits me about being a C.E.O. is that you get to exercise many different talents and wear many different hats.|Glenn Kelman

We cannot decide on the efficacy of a medical treatment by counting the number of ‘Likes’ an intervention receives on Facebook; no matter what        professionals will still need to conduct continued clinical trials and evaluate their outcomes carefully.|Priyamvada Natarajan

Instead of writing thrillers to pay for my train bills        I was actually now going to medical school in order to have something to write about.|Michael Crichton
