"People are only going to look at you and put you in a certain light if you look at yourself that way. If you're willing to practice like a technician, and be happy just to crank cases that come in on orders, you have to understand that you're putting yourself in a position of being a victim of that process." —Barry T. Katzen, MD, FSIR
