Often doctors didn't even tell you what was wrong with you. They just treated you, and sent you home.

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.

You don't have a family doctor anymore like you did when you were a kid, who treated you throughout your life.

I don't necessarily want my physician making all my decisions.

I didn't want to be Doctor Who in a 'Doctor Who' that I didn't like.

I told the doctor I broke my leg in two places. He told me to quit going to those places.

I knew at university that medicine was just not for me. I saved many lives by not being a doctor!

When I decided to become a doctor, I was very, very young, when my mother, her seventh child, became pregnant, and she was feeling terrible pain, and I could not know how to help her. And my mother died in front of my eyes, without knowing why, which diagnosis. So I decided to be a doctor.
