I have devoted much time and energy to helping medical physics in developing countries.

I was the Chair of the first department of medical physics in a medical school in the U.S.

I am sure that I have been much more useful to society as a medical physicist.

Medical physicists work in cooperation with doctors. A few medical physicists devote their time to research and teaching. A few get involved with administrative duties.

Most medical physicists work in the physics of radiation oncology making sure that the desired dose is given to the cancer and the dose to normal tissues are minimized.

Medical physics is an applied area of physics.

For many people managing pain involves using prescription medicine in combination with complementary techniques like physical therapy acupuncture yoga and massage. I appreciate this because I truly believe medical care should address the person as a whole - their mind body and spirit.

The growth of technology is such that it is not possible today for a nuclear physicist to switch into medical physics without training. The field is now much more technical. More training is needed to do the job.

The patient's autonomy always always should be respected even if it is absolutely contrary - the decision is contrary to best medical advice and what the physician wants.

As a physician I know many doctors want to utilize new technology but they find the cost prohibitive.

A pregnant woman facing the most dire circumstances must be able to count on her doctor to do what is medically necessary to protect her from serious physical harm.

If you look at the human condition today not everyone is well fed has access to good medical care or the physical basics that provide for a healthy and a happy life.

The physician's highest calling his only calling is to make sick people healthy - to heal as it is termed.

A physician's physiology has much the same relation to his power of healing as a cleric's divinity has to his power of influencing conduct.

I got married at 22 and remained in an abusive marriage for 10 years. I made up my mind that that was never going to happen to me again. I made a brave step to walk out in a society when you didn't walk out of an abusive marriage. It was mental and physical abuse.

I've exchanged messages and photos of an explicit nature with about six women over the last three years. For the most part these communications took place before my marriage though some have sadly took place after. To be clear I have never met any of these women or had physical relationships at any time.

I suffered from a mild case of postpartum depression after my second child and the physical challenge of maintaining an overnight shift at CBS a marriage and two in diapers made the symptoms worse and everyone in the house paid the price.
