I studied the sciences up until going to college, and I was either going to do medicine or drama. I chose drama, but I come from a whole line of doctors.
I was something of a surprise to my parents. My mum, Margaret, was 42 when she had me and had been told she couldn’t have children. So when she went to the doctors, they thought she had an ovarian cyst. And it was me!
We go through life, we need food, we need water and we need doctors. You have those three things, you’re ahead of the game.
I don’t believe in technological determinism, especially not in biology and medicine. We have strong laws to keep doctors from monkeying around with humans that will remain in place. It’s simply not true that everything that is technologically possible gets done.
I have been given a lot of roles that are downtrodden, mammy-ish. A lot of lawyers or doctors who have names but absolutely no lives. You’re going to get your three or four scenes; you’re not going to be able to show what you can do.
The CDC has always been an example of unbiased and thorough medical research, both in America and around the world, and we must continue to provide the doctors and experts at the CDC the resources they need to help solve and prevent public health crises.
I found collaborating with congenial doctors about problems that physicists could help solve was very satisfying. I also like educating anybody who would listen!

Women’s rights are nothing but a part of the bigger picture, which is human rights. Women are trusted with the lives of their kids, even serve as teachers and doctors, but they aren’t trusted with their own lives.

I had gained a greater appreciation of hearing the concerns of woman, doctors, and so many others.
There are no doctors in my family, and I’ve joked about this, that my dad got the doctor daughter he always wanted. But I would make a terrible doctor – I hate the sight of blood!
Whatever you thought of his politics, Ronald Reagan was a great man, a courageous man. He took an assassin’s bullet and joked to the doctors as they desperately worked to save his life.
Irregular contact with doctors means many men fail to receive any preventive care for potentially life-threatening conditions. In addition, when men do seek care, embarrassment can often prevent them from openly discussing health concerns with their physicians.
I am a medium. In the same way, doctors are mediums to bring treatment.
We know who are the best doctors, which doctors are performing well. Why are we not giving this know-how to our customers?
Three of my children are medical doctors, they know at least a hundred times as much about your body as my grandfather knew, but they don’t know much more about soul than he did.
I have decided to give up competition. I cannot train properly for the Tour de France which I had hoped to ride for the last time as apotheosis to my career. Doctors are forbidding me to ride anymore in high level competition and I bow to them.
Nineteen percent of doctors say that they’d be able to give their patients a lethal injection. But they also went on to say that the patient would have to be really, really behind on payments.
Look, I just read out loud for a living. Most of my friends are doctors or lawyers, people I went to university with, they’re on the train at 7 A.M. and don’t get home until 7 P.M. They work bloody hard, and they’re allowed to be overwhelmed. I don’t think I’m allowed, really.
Back in the day, I was the first non-recovering doctor working in recovery. People would say, ‘You can’t do that! We need recovering guys in this.’ But usually recovering doctors have a lot of baggage and so there’s a certain amount of liability with a recovering doctor. But of course it can be ideal.
When you sit players in front of doctors and surgeons, they use big, fancy words, and sometimes players get lost. It’s hard to digest. But when you’ve been there and you can break it down into ‘football language,’ they can understand it better.
The teachers teach the children that are going to take care of us. These are our future leaders, doctors, lawyers. So, they need to have everything in their arsenal to teach these kids.
My knee was torn up. I tore every ligament in my knee. It was a very, very bad injury. I had to do what the doctors told me to do, and I did that. The next year, I came back and led the league in rushing.
The doctors, whether based in Brussels or Paris, draw the same conclusions and write the same prescriptions.
Obamacare has burdened New York families with unaffordable premiums, rendered some insurance plans unusable because of high deductibles, and caused people to lose their doctors.
I love all insider memoirs. It doesn’t matter whether it’s truck-drivers or doctors. I think everybody likes to go backstage, find out what people think and what they talk about and what specialised job they have.
I get e-mail from all over the world, and from lawyers and doctors and whoever – plumbers and drywall hangers.
I have a whole slew of doctors. I can count eight in my phone right now – eight different doctors, all for different parts of my body. I have specialists.
If you look at American medical fiction written by doctors, like ‘The House of God’ by Samuel Shem and ‘The Blood of Strangers’ by Frank Huyler, both have themes of cynicism and dysfunction running through them that you won’t find in ‘ER.’ You find it in ‘Scrubs,’ but because that’s a comedy, it gets away with it.
Doctors look after me. But, basically, I look after myself. I don’t overeat. I don’t develop a big paunch. I do a little bit of exercise. At the same time, I believe that if you don’t work, you will decay. The decay process is through not using your faculties – not using your brain, not using your body.
When we did ‘Thirtysomething,’ television was either about doctors, lawyers, or cops.
According to its doctors, my one intransigent desire is to have been a Confederate general, and because I could not or would not become anything else, I set up for poet and beg an to invent fictions about the personal ambitions that my society has no use for.
The DREAMers who are in my state are some of the most ambitious, creative, going to be productive businesspeople and doctors. That’s why I’m proud of being the first governor to make sure the DREAMers get access to college education.
Both my parents are doctors, so from the time I was a child, I wanted to do medicine.
Unlike many other illnesses, what I find profoundly empowering about addressing loneliness is that the ultimate solution to loneliness lies in each of us. We can be the medicine that each other needs. We can be the solution other people crave. We are all doctors and we are all healers.
Growing up in a family of doctors, I wanted to be a brain surgeon for a while. But ultimately, I get most excited about creating things, which is why I decided to become an entrepreneur.
America’s health care system provides some of the finest doctors and more access to vital medications than any country in the world. And yet, our system has been faltering for many years with the increased cost of health care.
In fact, both my parents were doctors but I was a duffer.
But I enjoyed getting sick, I didn’t mind it at all. So in that short amount of time, I did actually go from 121 right back up to 180, which is way too fast obviously. And that resulted in some doctors visits to get things sorted out.
Team doctors’ jobs those days were to keep you on the field.
We want the NHS to be able to recruit the doctors and nurses it needs. And we want British businesses to be free to hire the best workers from anywhere in the world.
The great secret of doctors, known only to their wives, but still hidden from the public, is that most things get better by themselves; most things, in fact, are better in the morning.
My doctors warned me repeatedly that if you don’t stay positive, you don’t do well.
If white people need colleges to furnish teachers, ministers, lawyers, and doctors, do black people need nothing of the sort?
I had just finished playing a doctor in Doctors’ and I had had to tell somebody that they had cancer. In that moment I thought, He’s doing what I did!’ We sat down and he said, I’m sorry, Mr. Timothy, but I’ve got bad news.’ I thought, Oh!’ He told me that they had found cancerous cells, but not a lot.
Consider radiology. Technology is going to reduce the use of those machines because doctors aren’t going to need to send patients two or three times for radiology. They’re going to have access to what the previous specialist took. There’s also going to be devices that are coming out that are much less costly.
