Introducing The Kindness Channel

Things have changed a lot since I started answering questions.  When I was a medical school professor, the most frequent question (from my students) was “Is this going to be on the test?”  There have been questions about general medicine, how to deal with doctors, and even sometimes about sex. The answer to pretty much all of the questions about sex ends up being “The sexiest organ in your body is your brain.  Change what it thinks, and you can change pretty much anything and make it better.”

Now my most frequently asked question is “Can I become  your  really close friend?” Now my answer is “Yes,” to absolutely everybody. Someone told me not long ago that the most important thing about me was not what I did, in my work and such, but how I had chosen to live. Huh?” My work is, I guess, pretty important to me.  I did a lot of wacky things before I got to do this work.  My motto is “whatever it takes,” and I really would go to the ends of the earth for my patients.  My patients are people whom I admire, who I really care about.
