How should a patient think of your various roles? Hayashi:These often are patients referred to us who have signs of liver failure, often cirrhosis. My job is to meet them, ass...

Then the next question they want to know, and I...

Hayashi:I actually go fly fishing to get away from my work a bit! Well, for one thing, if anyone is listening who’s a fly fisherman, if there’s one thing it teaches you it teaches...
