Quotes When I started medical school, I did not deliberately choose to buck the system and defy the status quo, but I was mesmerized, truly fascinated, by surgery. Unexpectedly, I fell in love with the bright lights of the operating theater, the world of sterile instruments, the drama of life and death, the actors decisive, cool under pressure, with magic hands.
