"Medicine, at its best, begins with storytelling. And if you cannot tell a story the practice of medicine breaks down." - Siddhartha Mukherjee.
"Scientists are actually more obsessed with history than perhaps even historians, because there is no discipline I can think of which is so deeply dependent on history. We always think of science as a futuristic discipline, but really it isn't. It is a discipline immersed in its past." - Siddhartha Mukherjee.
