Quotes by Katrina Firlik (?)

“Such philosophical musings risk inviting depression or inefficiency. Better just to fix the problem and move on to the next one. It's all part of being a service provider at the end of the line.”
― Katrina Firlik, Another Day in the Frontal Lobe: A Brain Surgeon Exposes Life on the Inside

“Creating gerbil strokes requires a mini-operation performed by mini-instruments on a mini-subject. All told, this was the most satisfying aspect of the project for me.”
― Katrina Firlik, Another Day in the Frontal Lobe: A Brain Surgeon Exposes Life on the Inside
