Part of the attraction of writing when I was in practice was that it was such a radically different undertaking than medicine, which is very regimented and straightforward.

One of the wonderful things about it is the people I've always referred to as "Sabbath gasbags" - the Washington people who appear on television on Sunday - were wrong, I guess, 100% of the time. They were almost never right. There were constant surprises. Who expected any of this stuff? It was only in looking back at it that you realized, hey, at one point this was going to be [Rudy] Giuliani vs. Hillary Clinton...
