View Transcript People have asked me, “Well, do you ever get bored seeing the same thing day after day?” — especially some community doctors who do a little bit of everything. They’ll ask me, “Do you ever get bored?” And the answer is, “No,” because every patient’s different, every patient’s circumstance is a little bit different.
It’s motivating to watch people feel better. That’s certainly the best motivation you can have. Being in oncology itself, I think it’s a fascinating field and pretty rapidly changing. I think it was pretty similar, stagnant for a number of years. But in the last five or six years, so many new targets, so many new pathways, so many new options are out there. It’s really a fascinating field to be a part of.
