«Nowadays, people's expectations, especially those of patients, are increased and doctors must be able to respond by devoting to each person the time and attention they need. A symptom means something, the patient needs something to tell you, something to learn, he needs an explanation, his body is trying to tell him something. You must be able to explain and solve what is troubling him. One symptom is not the same for everyone; you must understand it. That's what personalised medicine is all about»
