I always wanted to be a medical doctor, and I never thought of business.

I do like books on anatomy. I have to say I'm an amateur physician, I guess.

For a long time, I thought I would like to be a doctor. Such a good profession. So explicitly good. Never a waste of time.

Although I liked especially physics and mathematics for which I had considerable talent, I decided to study medicine. This profession had for me a strong emotional appeal, which was reinforced by having an uncle who was an excellent surgeon.

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

I wanted to be a doctor since I was five.

I was involved in music, acting, and some running, but my firm wish was to become a doctor. That was the formative age when I had decided on the pattern of my career.

Medicine may be the lens through which I see the world, but since I think of medicine as 'life +', a place where life is exaggerated and seen at its most vital and poignant, I'll be writing about life more than I will be writing about medicine.

Medicine, the only profession that labors incessantly to destroy the reason for its existence.
