I am sure that I have been much more useful to society as a medical physicist.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Among physicists, I'm respected I hope.
I have devoted much time and energy to helping medical physics in developing countries.
I found collaborating with congenial doctors about problems that physicists could help solve was very satisfying. I also like educating anybody who would listen!
I was brought up as a physicist.
I would never have been a good scientist - my attention span was too short for that.
Well, of course I would choose to be the top scientist in my field.
I actually consider myself as totally privileged to be able to serve science and medicine in a global fashion, because science and medicine know no boundaries.
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.
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 started out as a physicist; however, I am what I have become. I have evolved, with the help of many colleagues in the international scientific community, into an interdisciplinary scientist.
