I have a call to speak, to write, to do sort of deep-heart surgery in people's lives.

As a heart surgeon I am on constant call, and when not researching or giving lectures, I like to be with my family.

I'm a medical doctor and a biomedical scientist.

I am a doctor, a real doctor.

Surgeons are not technicians; they're not mechanics. They're artists. I see patterns where not many other people see patterns. ...I think that's what made me a good surgeon, and now, that's what's making me a good writer.

I temporarily became a surgeon for 'Memory of Love'. I spent two weeks in an operating theatre, watching amputations, and I loved it.

My dad was a surgeon in Egypt. He was a general surgeon. As a little boy I always admired what he was doing, and I wanted to do surgery.

I have a Bachelor in medicine, a Bachelor in surgery, and I am a Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons.

I don't have to talk to a surgeon to play a surgeon, you know what I mean?

I decided to become a surgeon named Bernie who writes books and gives seminars to teach people what he has learned and is still learning about how to deal with life's difficulties.
