About
Medicine is complex. I try to treat it as a science while recognizing that there is a lot of art to it. I make use of the medical tools we have, while recognizing their limitations. Like everything in medicine, these tools have both benefits, but also risks, and I try to use the best knowledge we have to balance these two. Finally, I try to see the issue, be it big or small, from the perspective of the parent and child, and not just from the perspective of medicine.
