excerpts from article:
"What is the best advice you’ve ever received?
My earliest mentor was my family physician/internist, who,
unfortunately, died of pancreatic cancer many years ago. His advice
was to make
sure I approached the practice of medicine as a people’s doctor. There
is
nothing more rewarding than that. I took his advice very seriously and
I
certainly agree with it.
What would you consider one of your biggest
successes
in your specialty?
I’ve been involved in the development of a number of strategies,
including the development of intraperitoneal therapy in ovarian
cancer.
However, I would argue the most important thing, which I think and
hope
I’ve done and continue to do, is to insist upon — for myself and
others — viewing and thinking critically about everything we do as
physicians. It’s crucial that we absolutely strive for and base our
decisions on, as much as possible, solid, evidence-based medicine and
phase-3,
randomized trials. I believe to my core that the future of medicine
has to be
evidence-based?"
