“Many people told me I was crazy, for accepting all the patients, for having so many resources available, and it is true, in a large percentage, we lose money, and it is true that it costs a lot to have the best professionals, the best technology, but it’s the right thing to do, something our patients deserve, the reason why I went to medical school and until the day they tell me I cannot do it, I’ll keep doing it.”
