| I was lucky enough to get a copy of the book before publication. It was a delight to read - action, pathos, suspense! This book has it all. Robert Daley is a masterful writer. Can't wait to read more of his work. Very highly recommended! ...more | |
“I'm taking inorganic chem and physics not because I want to but because I have to. Not every doctor wants to be a scientist. Some of us just want to take care of sick people. I can't help thinking that medicine is more closely aligned to the humanities than to the sciences. I can't help thinking that I could learn more about being a good doctor from William Shakespeare than I could from Isaac Newton. After all, isn't understanding people at least as important as understanding pathology?”

“At times it felt like I was killing myself. And yet the only thing I could recall at that moment was how much fun it had been, and how wonderful it was to do this for a living.”

“Why do we always think our pain will be less if we can make others suffer more?”
