Personal avowals

• I've been on the edge of research and medicine all of my professional life. This doesn't get you a lot of peer adulation; it's not exactly the best way to advance your career in medicine. So I don't know why I feel more comfortable on the edge than in the accepted, adulated middle ground; I simply love the new ideas and being on what I consider the cutting edge, which is usually the margin of medicine. Being on the margin means being marginalized and accumulating criticism, but I would not have done it any other way.
