In my own personal life, God plays a great role in the risk, because I pray before I go into the operating room for every case, and I ask him to give me wisdom, to help me to know what to do - and not only for operating, but for everything.

Now when I came to go up to operations, I went down to this patient's room and got down on my knees at the foot of the bed and earnestly asked the Lord to help us and to help me.

Sometimes I pray when I really feel like I need God to help me with something, and sometimes we just have conversations. We just kick it.

I pray while driving. I pray while working, and while relaxing.

I just pray to God and make sure I'm good with God.

I pray before virtually every speech and virtually every major decision.

I pray for miracles. I have always found prayer to bring quick results.

I always pray for God's guidance in my life and he always provides it. He opens the right doors he shuts the right doors. And I have tremendous faith in him. He just guided my career in an amazing way.

I have relied on prayer for health care all of my life.

As a surgeon you have to have a controlled arrogance. If it's uncontrolled, you kill people, but you have to be pretty arrogant to saw through a person's chest, take out their heart and believe you can fix it. Then, when you succeed and the patient survives, you pray, because it's only by the grace of God that you get there.
