Medicine has always been my calling.

You learn how to take care of people from the women in your life.

People change based on what they feel, not what they know. Which means that understanding all that advice doesn't matter if there's no deep, profound, visceral awareness of why it's important.

I've always felt that, when I looked at my tombstone, it shouldn't say, 'Mehmet Oz banged out 10,000 open-heart operations.' I've probably done 5,000. Am I any better at it than 10,000? He shook his head. It's just a different number on the tombstone.

I like shows that have some level of intelligence to them. When it's not as predictable, when you don't know what's coming at you.
