A Quote by Patch Adams
I've never made a penny being a doctor, so that makes it not a job. My sense of a doctor is that one is a presence caring for health. So I'm never not a doctor. People call me from all over the world who are hurting, and I care for them. Chatting is what more people want than anything.

It's great to be excited by your profession, whether you are a doctor or a writer.
