Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel

Now, how we find it, what we find our purpose to be, it's a big challenge.

I mean, when I went to college, um, uh, with your sister, um,

My first year, I was really sort of felt at sea.

And I was like, well, what am I going to do?

What is the point of this whole exercise?

And I took a walk out into the forest around my college and, you know, it was snowy and it began to come to me to think through, all right,

What talents do I have?

How can I contribute to the world the best?

And it was a, you know, did it answer all my questions?

Of course not.

But did it put me on a course about thinking, how can I contribute?

I think that's the key question we have to ask.

And it comes in a lot of different shapes and sizes, and it may not be one thing that's the same your whole life.

I do think

having a sort of empty life where there's no real doing something for other people outside of yourself does tend to be very debilitating to people.

Well, it's really about social systems.

It's really about the healthcare system.

One of our, you know, we have a broken healthcare system, broken in every way you can imagine.

We don't cover all Americans, bad thing.

We have way too high cost, bad thing.
