Philosophy:
"I knew I wanted to be a doctor
after my sister was injured in a barn accident when
we were kids. I remember being so relieved that my parents
were taking her to the hospital so that doctors could
take care of her, and they did. I knew right then that
I wanted to give other people that same sense or relief;
that knowledge that someone you love is getting the
best care possible."
