I think that we're beginning to globalize medicine now. You have to take Eastern approaches and bring them to the West, and share West with the East.

Medicine is a jealous mistress. It demands all your time.

You have to be going somewhere to have the energy you need to get there.

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.

It's not the mechanistic part of the joints moving. It's not the chemistry of our body. It's understanding for the first time how energy influences how we feel.
