Well, I remember being at one of those career day events they sometimes have in school, and there were several doctors there. They all seemed really enthusiastic about what they were doing, which helped, but also, I was interested in biology and how things worked. So if you combine their enthusiasm with my interest in the inner workings of people, that's mainly why I chose that profession.

Also, I figured that wanting to help people get better was a good reason to go into something.
