For people who don't know me, I practiced medicine in Casper, Wyoming for 25 years as an orthopedic surgeon, taking care of families in Wyoming. I've been chief of staff of the largest hospital in our state. My wife is a breast cancer survivor.

I was always in hospital as a kid: I had a tumour on my knee, lots of broken bones. I loved climbing trees.

For the last 20 months, I've just been going from one hospital to another.

Springfield has always had a place in my heart.

Although I completed two years of internship in various small hospitals, I decided against continuing my medical training. I was much more fascinated by the unsolved problems of medicine than by practicing it.

Hospitals are about healing.

What I remember about coming to L.A. is that suddenly work was as big a presence in my life as my life itself.

I was doing things that weren't good for me. So I checked into the Churchill Priory clinic. It was the best thing I've done for ages.
