“One way or another our karma will leave us to face ourselves. We can look our karma in the eye or we can wait for it to sneak up on us from behind....One way or another, our karma will always find us....And the truth is, as surgeons, we have more chances than most to set the balance in our favor....No matter how hard we try we can't escape our karma. It follows us home....I guess we can't really complain about karma. It's not unfair. It's not unexpected. It just...evens the score. And even when we're about to do something we know will tempt karma to bite us in the ass...well, it goes without saying....We do it anyway.”
