At the age of five, I didn't even understand the question. I just think that it's just, hey, it's something that I like that I did. I really wasn't thinking about it as far as whether or not I liked it or whether or not I got support for it or whatnot. It was just something I did.
I just had my mom was an RN, a nurse. And I remember as a young kid going through all of her textbooks and really getting interested in anatomy and just helping people seemed like something I wanted to do. And I wanted to do something tactile with my hands, just with, you know, my physical background. And that's why surgery really, you know, became what I wanted to do.
I can look back now and see a great deal of positive that's come out of it. I've come out on the other side with a great deal of sensitivity, a great deal of awareness.
