It‘s good to see those armies of
colourful cells in variable shapes
and sizes, yet it is the same red
blood running across all races.
Truly amazing. —Anita Jain
I love hematology because 14
years later, I‘m still alive. It doesn’t
get better than that. —Dianne Witter
It’s the perfect combination
to integrate clinical and basic
knowledge. The biology of being
human. —Leonardo Cano Cevallos
A Problem with How We Treat Cancer –
and How to Fix It
How Much Would You Pay for a Year of Life?
“Why not encourage young scientists to reach out to everyone interested in supporting scientific research? If Hollywood can crowdfund
indie movies, surely a doctoral candidate could raise money for
cutting-edge research.”
“As a society, we’re going to have to reach an understanding of what
that cutpoint is – because we can’t afford not to. People ask, ‘What’s
the value of a human life?’ The answer is, ‘That’s a complicated question, but a really important one, because nobody thinks it is infinite.’”
—Michael S. Malone, MBA, in The Wall Street Journal
“If medical establishments are not offering psychosocial health care to
their patients, they are not wholly treating cancer. And if our doctors
and nurses are truly not taking care of the whole patient, should they
be treating us at all?”
