This was our last stop. This was it. We had those two embryos that we had banked prior to learning about the breast cancer and with the medicine she was on this was our last effort. The prayers were answered.

Part of my training was learning how to refer patients to cardiologists for heart problems gastroenterologists for stomach issues and rheumatologists for joint pain. Given that most physicians were trained this way it's no wonder that the average Medicare patient has six doctors and is on five different medications.

We believe that if you put in place the mechanisms that allow for personal choice as far as Medicare is concerned as well as the programs in Medicaid that we can actually get to a better result and do what most Americans are learning how to do which is to do more with less.

By keeping my hand in that it's the way I keep learning. The main way you learn in medicine is by practicing and working with patients.

One goes through school college medical school and one's internship learning little or nothing about goodness but a good deal about success.

When I entered medical physics in 1958 there were fewer than 100 in the U.S. and I could see many opportunities to apply my knowledge of nuclear physics.

I began the study of medicine impelled by a desire for knowledge of facts and of man. The resolution to do disciplined work tied me to both laboratory and clinic for a long time to come.

Medical knowledge and technical savvy are biodegradable. The sort of medicine that was practiced in Boston or New York or Atlanta fifty years ago would be as strange to a medical student or intern today as the ceremonial dance of a !Kung San tribe would seem to a rock festival audience in Hackensack.

I am committed to ensure that our intelligence community law enforcement medical professionals and military have the information and funding needed to protect the American people from threats at home and abroad.

It is clear that the pharmaceutical industry is not by any stretch of the imagination doing enough to ensure that the poor have access to adequate medical care.
