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

Medicine has always been my calling.

Medicine's good for some people. Not for me.

Medicine is a very tough thing. I mean, everyone is going to die. Sooner or later. That's a tough thing to face.

Not really in all honesty because until you take control of your own health and go to your own doctor and have your own doctor tell you what's going to work for you.

I no longer practice medicine, but I can say that, for me, medicine was easier - and certainly less emotionally turbulent - than writing.

Medicine ended up being the best thing I ever did for my writing.

Practicing medicine is not only my vocation, it gives me an opportunity to continue to be in direct contact with people, to see them and hear their needs.

I treated as few patients as I could as a medical student, and I never practiced medicine.

I agree, the world would be a better place if doctors were less enthusiastic about adopting very new drugs.
