How This Doctor Is Chasing a Cure for His Own Rare Disease
Healthline Media ∙ 01/10/2020 ∙ Rare Diseases
In his introduction to his memoir “Chasing My Cure: A Doctor’s Race to Turn Hope Into Action,” Dr. David Fajgenbaum discussed how he learned that “hope cannot be a passive concept.”
“It’s a choice and a force,” he wrote. “Hoping for something takes more than casting out a wish to the universe and waiting for it to occur. Hope should inspire action. And when it does inspire action in medicine and science, that hope can become a reality, beyond your wildest dreams.”
