I am very puzzled by the fact that young people are getting infected again. They don't take precautions despite an enormous amount of information. It's like riding a race car at 200 kilometers an hour. Some people like the risk.

Therefore in medicine we ought to know the causes of sickness and health.

I observe the physician with the same diligence as the disease.

If you find diseases before they've really emerged, you can control them early on, before you get a major epidemic.

Infectious disease exists at this intersection between real science, medicine, public health, social policy, and human conflict. There's a tendency of people to try and make a group out of those who have the disease. It makes people who don't have the disease feel safer.

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.

I am a medical scientist, not a practical physician.

I am not a physician, but I am deeply interested in diagnostic categories and have read extensively in the history of the subject.

As a young surgeon in training at the University of California San Francisco General Hospital in the early '80s, my colleagues and I were inundated with an epidemic of young men with fevers, rashes, swollen lymph nodes and eventually death.

Wise and humane management of the patient is the best safeguard against infection.
