“I spent many late nights during medical school using my brain to think about the brain and then using my mind to ponder the irony of it. How exactly do we separate and distinguish the mind from the brain? I can operate on the brain but not on the mind, but operating on the brain can forever alter the mind. It's a dilemma of causality - a circular reference problem like the perennial question of what came first, the chicken or the egg.” — James R. Doty
