It's Not What You Do But That

But, You Know, We Have These Entrenched Entities - And I'm Talking About Both Republicans And Democrats - Who Believe That When You're Elected To Office, You Become Some Kind Of Member Of The Aristocracy, And That Anyone Who Challenges You Is Attacking You And Is Unpatriotic. This Is Foolishness.

Occasionally I Talk With People Who See Doctors As People Who Do Nothing But Give Of Themselves And Never Receive From Anyone Else - Especially Not From Their Patients. That Is Totally False. The Longer I Remain In My Profession, The More I Realize How Much I Receive From Those Who Come To Me For Help.

If We Can Take Young People Who Excel At The Highest Levels, Put Them On The Same Kind Of Pedestal As The All-state Basketball Player And The All-state Football Player, And Begin To Get The Same Kind Of Recognition, It Will Have A Profound Effect, And We Are Finding That It Does.

We Need To Be Willing To Stand Up And Speak Up For What We Believe.

Surrendering To Fear And Allowing Ourselves To Be Paralyzed By Peril Isn't Something Most Of Us Can Afford To Do.
