A Year In My Life: Weekly Stories of a Differenent Kind of Doctor

When I started writing these articles/blogs every week, I thought it would be fun to share a little of my life with others. I think one thing lacking in today's society is the positive aspect of loving who you are and what you do. I have spent a lifetime becoming educated and learning not only the skills to be a physician but a complete and soulful human being. I reflect often on where I have come from and where I am going. I think that becoming an authentic person is to constantly reassess what your values are.I hope that I can help others through the stories I share and in some small way contribute to those who I cannot directly touch in my medical practice. I want the world to know that I love what I do and I hope to instill in others a desire to achieve greatness from within. I hope to motivate the next generation to find joy in what they do. If they choose a medical field then I hope they choose it to make a difference and to take healing seriously as a profession and an art. If you do what you love and love what you do the rewards will come naturally.I chose medicine because I feel it in my spirit to nurture others and provide care and comfort on many levels. I chose to be a doctor because it affords me the privilege to oversee a large body of decision making and I feel inclined to find importance in motivating others to make the best decisions possible for themselves and others.
