I can be a better physician for my patients...
...that time, back in Canada, a toxicologist at Alberta Hospital had noticed an unusual chemical in the urine of the two cocaine-using patients: levamisole.

And when she was 27 - about to get her Ph.D. - she was diagnosed with a very aggressive form of breast cancer, and she died about two years later. I remember thinking, Here's somebody who was leading what we would call a perfectly [healthful] life. And she still got sick and died. The reason we think we have to follow these rules is because we want control. We're trying to educate...
