If there is illness in your home, do you not need a doctor from outside? If your home catches on fire, do you not need fire fighters from outside? God has sent me to America in the role of a doctor, in the role of a fire fighter.
How can a doctor judge a woman’s sanity by merely bidding her good morning and refusing to hear her pleas for release? Even the sick ones know it is useless to say anything, for the answer will be that it is their imagination.
When I was in my early twenties, my mom started repeating things, asking the same questions, telling the same stories. It was like, ‘Oh, God, this is not right.’ When I was 25, my brother and I finally told our dad we had to take her to the doctor.
I had parents who believed I could do anything – and I know how that made me feel. I think both my parents, having careers in the medical profession, feel they are helping people on a daily basis, and that was inculcated in me as a value. I had to struggle with giving up the idea of becoming a doctor myself.
The doctor who applied a stethoscope to my heart was not satisfied. I was told to get my papers with the clerk in the outer hall. I was medically rejected.
I don’t know what a person does that does not have a relationship with God. When he goes to the doctor and the doctors says, ‘Hey, you’ve got less than two months to live and there’s nothing we can do for you.’ Who do they turn to when you’re given something that earth shattering?
It is part of politics to make things look better than they really are. What is a spin doctor but a serial euphemiser?

The big reason that ‘Doctor Who’ is still with us is that every single viewer who ever turned in to watch this show, at any age, at any time in its history, took it into their heart – because ‘Doctor Who’ belongs to all of us. Everyone made ‘Doctor Who.’
My mother took great relish in introducing me as ‘This is my son – he’s a doctor but not the kind that helps people.’
In the beginning I used to say, ‘I’m healthy, my cholesterol’s fine, I don’t have high blood pressure, I don’t have diabetes.’ By telling people that you see a doctor, and telling people that you’re healthy, it’s perpetuating the abuse against bigger bodies and the mindset that we owe it to people to be healthy.
I grew up all over the world. My dad was a doctor but not a career-type doctor. He was very curious, so he took the whole family and moved to Miami in the ’70s, and we lived there for a couple of years. Then we continued like that and lived in various places around the world.
I destroyed all my geek stuff because I didn’t want to be a geek, and I regret it to this day. Consumed in the geek bonfire of the vanities was a collection of autographs and letters from Peter Cushing, Spike Milligan and Frankie Howerd, the first Doctor Whos, actual astronauts, and many more.
There are some great questions to ask your doctor. If he says ‘no,’ then you find yourself a different doctor. There really has to be a change in how we medically look at women at this time. I mean, this is not just baby gloom.
Music’s not like becoming a doctor, who can walk into a community and find people who need him.
You can’t be a doctor if you don’t know the entire parts of the body.

When I taught writing classes to psychiatric patients, I met people whose stories of manic highs and immobilizing lows appeared to be textbook descriptions of classic bipolar disorder. I met other patients who had been diagnosed with myriad disorders. No doctor seemed to agree about what they actually suffered from.
I was really into my studies and wanted to be a doctor.
I had this tic where I touch my mouth to my knee, and I’m always screwing up my back. I’ve had two shoulder surgeries. My doctor just smiles and laughs at me.
I was lucky that I started very young, since I had a very clear idea of what I wanted to do. But my father is very conservative, and he never considered fashion to be a real career but something I could pursue as a hobby. He wanted me to be a doctor, and at one point, I thought of becoming a plastic surgeon.
I once went to a ‘Star Trek’ convention by mistake – I thought I was going to a ‘Doctor Who’ one.

I knew at university that medicine was just not for me. I saved many lives by not being a doctor!
I know in Britain with ‘Doctor Who’ all the classic actors, and the people who you’d really want to, work on the show. I like that the fact that ‘Torchwood’ has actors that want to be involved from the stage. It has raised our game, and I’m just happy for good actors who want to be in sci-fi shows who love the genre.
A doctor in a hospital told me that when the mujaheddin were fighting in the early Nineties, he often performed amputations and Caesarean sections without anesthesia because there were no supplies.
Even when I’m playing a lawyer or a doctor, I want to play a person. A human being.
The happiest moment in my life? When my doctor told me I was completely cured of leukemia.
As any doctor can tell you, the most crucial step toward healing is having the right diagnosis. If the disease is precisely identified, a good resolution is far more likely. Conversely, a bad diagnosis usually means a bad outcome, no matter how skilled the physician.
When the doctor told me I had cancer, I was scared.

I’m not a doctor or scientist. I’m just a mom. But I do think there’s a genetic predisposition, and there are environmental triggers. I feel like that combination, in my child’s case, is what resulted in autism.
My cholesterol went from 220 to 149. I was crying like a ‘Biggest Loser’ contestant when my doctor gave me the news.
If you’re a doctor or a lawyer or teacher, if you only get three things right out of 10, you’re considered a failure.
I go the VA Hospital when I have a problem and the doctor jumps on me.
The doctor told Phil, my then husband, that my condition was really bad news. They had found an artery tearing and said I could die. They said they could try to patch it up but it could go horribly wrong. It all turned out okay in the end but it was touch and go.
If I wasn’t a designer, I would love to be a doctor. That is my fantasy, my dream. A doctor will give you a tablet if you have a headache, and I will give you a dress, and we both make you feel good.
When I was a journalist at Wired, I convinced a doctor to implant an RFID tracking device in my arm.
The moment my doctor told me, I went silent. My mum and dad were with me, then we all went to pieces. I was saying, No, I’ve got my flight to Sydney in two hours. I’m getting on a plane.
