A Quote by Fiona Wood

So the biggest thing about being a doctor is my education and training means I can help people to reduce their suffering and that's what being a doctor is, to reduce suffering and to try to improve the life of people who have been injured.

It could be sexual dysfunction, an eating disorder, depression, domestic violence - these are serious topics many people don't want to talk about.
