Excellent opening speech- "I have taken care of patients in Harlem, the Upper West Side, Chelsea, the Upper East Side, the Lower East Side, and Brooklyn. I've seen everything from the sniffles to the critically ill, everyone from the invincible to the invisible and I can tell you that:

Depression doesn't care about your profession
