Season 7, Episode 7: That’s My Trying

“Question - when was the last time a complete stranger took off her clothes in front of you, pointed to a big purple splotch on her back, and asked,” what the hell is this thing?" If you are a normal person, the answer is, hopefully, never. If you are a doctor the answer is, probably, about five minutes ago. People expect doctors to have all of the answers. The truth is: we love to think that we have all of the answers, too. Basically, doctors are know-it-alls, until something comes along that reminds us we're not.”

“We're all looking for answers in medicine, in life, in everything. Sometimes the answers we're looking for have been hiding just below the surface. Other times we find answers when we didn't even realize we were asking the question. Sometimes the answers can catch us completely by surprise. And sometimes, even when we find the answer we've been looking for we're still left with a whole hell of a lot of questions.”
