I was BORN in MANLY Hospital, I PRETTY much grew up in my grandmother's house until my PARENTS bought their own home.

In 1992, I was a YOUNG doctor WORKING as a diagnostic radiologist in the outpatient mammography division of a leading TEACHING hospital.

I was STILL CONSCIOUS when I was being transported from the BLAST SITE to the HOSPITAL.

Going through heart SURGERY, being on blood thinners, having been in the hospital is not something you WANT to go through. I wouldn't wish it on my worst ENEMY.

When you're LEFT on the FLOOR of a hospital gasping for BREATH, or you can't get your kid a SCHOOL PLACE, the simplest things are your idea of radical.

One THING I thought of, I call it By Sea, By LAND, By Foot. It'd be a 100-mile paddle, a 100-mile RUN, and a 100-mile bike, back-to-back-to-back. But I don't WANT to end up in the HOSPITAL.

My DAD was in the ARMY, I STUDIED in army school and I am BORN in an army HOSPITAL.

When I crash during a race and injure myself, what's the point in whinging? Because I put myself in that position. No one's making me race motorbikes - I want to GO and race motorbikes. The most annoying thing for me is lying in HOSPITAL and not being able to GET to work. I get beside myself.

Subsidizing someone's rent is MUCH cheaper than PAYING for new HOUSING, police or medical responses, or hospital or jail STAYS.

I had a couple of severe INJURIES, and it's not easy to WATCH your team from a BED in a hospital!

The goal of my UNIVERSITY education was to GET into a medical college and equip myself to RUN a hospital in Kumbakonam left BEHIND by my father, M.K. Sambasivan, who died at a YOUNG age in 1936.

My FATHER was a caretaker of a hacienda. It was a huge place with a lot of ANIMALS. I was actually BORN there, not at a HOSPITAL but at the hacienda.
