The thing you see in survivors is that they express feelings – I won’t say some of the things they tell their doctors, when doctors tell them they’re going to die in six months. Boy, do they let the doctor know how they feel about that statement.
Before we are footballers or fans, we are ordinary members of society. We are doctors, lawyers, milkmen, postmen, unemployed people, students… So why are they called racist football fans? Are they just racist for the 90 minutes of a match, when the other six days a week they’re not?
Instituting equal pay is especially important because families in our country increasingly rely on women’s wages to make ends meet. When women bring home less money each day, it means they have less for the everyday needs of their families – groceries, rent, child care, and doctors’ visits.
We’re trying to make sure that financial advisers act like lawyers and doctors. When you go to a lawyer or doctor, they have an obligation to put your best interests first. Financial advisers don’t.
Drug company payments to doctors are a small part of a much larger strategy by Big Pharma to clean our pockets.

Among doctors in general, I think more than half support what I’m doing.
I like when my man is worldly, knows the finer things in life, is well traveled, educated. It’s important to me that he’s able to talk to all types of people, from doctors to dishwashers.

If you explain to a patient what can be done and what might be the downsides, let the patient choose; don’t have ethicists, priests, or doctors say you may or may not have replacement cells.
The homeless often lose trust in people: in the hospital doctors, who had no choice but to discharge them back on to the streets, and in the family members from whom they have become estranged. Their past use of the NHS can make it difficult to patch together a full medical history.
I am concerned about the plight of the working poor… If doctors are not paid for seeing those patients, doctors will not go to rural Alabama because you can’t expect a doctor to go to rural Alabama and lose money.
We cannot generalise anything in life. We cannot say media people are like this, film people are like this, or doctors are like this.

Doctors didn’t know what to do with me.
It is something that is called MDS. It is a rare blood disorder that affects the bone marrow. I’m going to beat this. My doctors say it and my faith says it.
We can trust our doctors to be professional, to minister equally to their patients without regard to their political or religious beliefs. But we can no longer trust our professors to do the same.
I had a few fibroids removed, and they left me with a Grand Canyon of scar tissue in my uterus. The doctors weren’t sure I’d be able to reproduce. I was prepared for a rough road, and then out of nowhere we conceived.
I took anatomy classes. I went to medical libraries and talked to doctors and nutritionists. I did the whole thing before using myself as a human guinea pig.
A lot of people don’t realize how severe a concussion injury is. You have to listen to the doctors. You have to be really careful about them.
