“It's impossible to describe the panic that comes over you, when you're a surgeon and your pager goes off in the middle of the night. Your heart starts to race, your mind freezes, your fingers go numb, you're invested. There's someone’s mom, someone’s dad, someone’s kid; and now it's on you. That someone’s life is now in your hands. As surgeons, we're always invested in our patients. But when your patient's a child, you're not just invested, you're responsible. Responsible for whether or not that child survives, has a future. And that's enough to terrify anyone.”
”They say the bigger your investment, the bigger your return. But you have to be willing to take a chance. You have to understand, you might lose it all. But if you take that chance, if you invest wisely, the payoff might just surprise you.”
