People want to come and give the farewell kiss. It does make it difficult to work, but it's part of our daily lives. We have no choice.

Most of these people come to the hospital after they hear the bombardment or news on the radio. They come to the hospital to see who was wounded and who was killed, whether they are their friends or their relatives, their cousins, their commanders - their passions lead them to the hospital.

I'm often shocked by what I see. There are days when it seems unendurable. I'm a doctor, but I'm also a human being.

We are the first, and we truly had to work for that. It's quite unusual. People are not given to adventures in our field. We've done it and we are very pleased.

It is obvious now that diets don't work. People need to change their lives and lead more healthy lives.

It's still a hard core piece of work for us to get the message out to people as to how to protect themselves. It obviously would be nice if we could identify which people are more at risk and this particular study is . . . an opening into that field.
