A: I was still a practicing physician in California when I started writing. Between work and writing, I was really busy all the time. There was a hurried quality to what I wrote then, and I often got interrupted. After a couple years of that routine, I realized that I would have to retire if I wanted to write the book properly.
答：我開始寫時仍在加州行醫，工作非常忙碌，邊工作邊寫，寫出來的東西感覺很匆忙，也不時被打斷，寫了兩年我知道如果要好好寫一定得退休才行，於是我毅然放棄了做得很成功的事業，決心寫好這本書。
