I Detest Politics, To Be Honest With

A Great Operation On The Wrong Patient Is Just As Bad As A Horrible Operation On The Right Patient. So, You Have To Have All That Together.

I Could Easily Have Decided That Life Was Cruel, That Being Black Meant Everything Was Stacked Against Me.

Occasionally I Talk With People Who See Doctors As People Who Do Nothing But Give Of Themselves And Never Receive From Anyone Else - Especially Not From Their Patients. That Is Totally False. The Longer I Remain In My Profession, The More I Realize How Much I Receive From Those Who Come To Me For Help.

Success Is Determined Not By Whether Or Not You Face Obstacles, But By Your Reaction To Them. And If You Look At These Obstacles As A Containing Fence, They Become Your Excuse For Failure. If You Look At Them As A Hurdle, Each One Strengthens You For The Next.

And I've Always Said, 'if Two People Think The Same Thing About Everything, One Of Them Isn't Necessary.' We Need To Be Able To Understand That If We're Going To Make Real Progress.
