Zitat des Tages von Joseph Murray:
Kidney transplants seem so routine now. But the first one was like Lindbergh's flight across the ocean.
Service to society is the rent we pay for living on this planet.
It's the best time ever to be a doctor because you can heal and treat conditions that were untreatable even a few years ago.
My only wish would be to have 10 more lives to live on this planet. If that were possible, I'd spend one lifetime each in embryology, genetics, physics, astronomy and geology. The other lifetimes would be as a pianist, backwoodsman, tennis player, or writer for the 'National Geographic.'
I wanted to be a surgeon, possibly influenced by the qualities of our family doctor who cared for our childhood ailments.
To the patient, any operation is momentous.
I was performing skin grafts and became interested in why skin wouldn't graft permanently.
