Alice Dreger Zitate

What we should care about is health - reduction of morbidity and mortality. Too often, we instead pay attention to whether something is 'normal.' A hospital may spend several million dollars separating a pair of conjoined twins, even though that separation is likely to leave them worse off.

Was uns wichtig ist, ist Gesundheit - Senkung von Morbidität und Mortalität. Zu oft achten wir darauf, ob etwas „normal“ ist. Ein Krankenhaus kann mehrere Millionen Dollar ausgeben, um ein Paar zusammengeschlossener Zwillinge zu trennen, obwohl diese Trennung wahrscheinlich dazu führt, dass es ihnen schlechter geht.

One of the towering people in this industry said, why don't you go and make a five-year contract with somebody, make yourself several million dollars and put it away, then go and do whatever you want, work for public TV if you want.

As a serial investor who has raised hundreds of millions of dollars for startups, I know that the business plans coming out of incubators tend to be vetted and more thoroughly validated. The incubator's input into your business plan will make you look far more polished and experienced - even if you have never run a business before.

To me, spending millions of dollars recreating the world's sadness with actors and props and sets - it seems like a kind of arrogant waste of money... Unless, that is, it's a film about an historical event.

I am involved in minor league baseball. I go around the country speaking to troubled youths, trying to help them understand that whatever path they choose, they'll need to really pay attention to it.
