I am a fourth year medical student, currently in Georgia.
What’s the best part of your profession? What made you choose this profession?
I have always wanted to be a physician. In fact, by the time I was 15, I was so set in my decision that I did not even bother to make other plans. I always thought there was a certain magic in the way doctors heal their patients. Doctors get to witness humanity at their very best and very worst.

I absolutely adore reading! I especially love thrillers. The last book I read was "A Good Girl's Guide to Murder"

Bullies
If given a choice, what alternate career would you have opted for?
I honestly have no answer for this question. Never considered anything else :)
Finally, a Quote you relate to.
When I was a child, I cared what everyone thought about me.
When I was in my twenties, I did not care what anyone thought about me.
When I was older, I realized no one was thinking about me in the first place.
It's a quote I find very liberating :)
