"There's lots of different ways that anybody can contribute. I mentioned the humble task of just serving other people... If you are going to be a medical anthropologist, feel free to contribute to medical anthropology, but there are also other ways to contribute too to that problem and many others, and I would encourage you to keep that in mind. Just because you're a hammer doesn't mean everything is a nail. And just because you're a medical anthropologist doesn't mean you have to only write books."
