Overview

Why I entered medicine | The men in my family traditionally studied engineering, and so becoming a chemical engineer felt like a natural fit for me. But when I was working for DuPont and then Nestle, I realized I was missing out on what I really liked most -- more direct contact with people. My father ran his own small business manufacturing parts out of metal and plastic to build different type of machines. This was the “family business,” so that’s where I spent many of my nights and weekends as a child. I was working on lathe and milling machines when I was about 8 years old. As an adult, I needed to work with my hands -- and not just with a pencil or computer. Surgery, particularly orthopedic surgery, allows me to do that. Thanks to years of mechanical and engineering training, I have a superior three-dimensional concept of how the body works and moves. Spine surgery is a great way for me to apply this understanding.
