« I have always thought that my role
as a physician was to act as an intermediary between medical science and my patient. Using my clinical knowledge and experience, I must make a diagnosis, find a medical or surgical solution that meets my patient's expectations
and ensure that the patient understands through our interview the nature, issues and follow-up of his condition. »
