In specific areas, the amount that we know today compared to when I started out as a neurologist is breathtaking.
The difference is breathtaking. I practiced before the CAT scan. Before the MRI scan, and the CAT scan was nirvana.
And now, the MRI scan became the next nirvana. And it isn't. And there never will be, I don't think,
ever one thing that does everything. [MUSIC PLAYING] The breakthroughs are wonderful.
It's been an extremely exciting life for me. Every day, you wake up and there's another breakthrough and another opportunity for maybe patient management
improvement. And I believe that with adequate funding of research
and with adequate concentration on the patient-physician relationship, the next 50 years are
going to be unbelievable as to what could possibly come about. [MUSIC PLAYING]
