Nawal El SaadawiYou know, I look to myself mainly as a creative writer all my life and a medical doctor.
Nawal El SaadawiWhen I am in Egypt, I am phoned because I am listed in the medical directory under "Mental Health and Psychiatry." And of course, I see very few people, because I give much more time to writing. So I cannot say that I really stopped medicine, but I practice medicine - or psychiatry - in a very different way. In an artistic way!
