Notable quotes from Dr. Fisher’s interview:
I felt very lucky. The medicine that they taught was really good in terms of values of medicine. And I try to enlist it, embrace it, and use it in my practice.
My passion has always been to help others.
It’s really my passion that stems from my insight – you can’t make that up – that really is the force that allowed me to do all these other things to help other families.
It was almost like God had a path for us because we were at the right time at the right spot.
