This is a question I get asked ALL OF THE TIME.  

And to be quite honest, I’m still not sure how to answer it correctly.

I feel like so many people around me have great answers for this question; either their parents were doctors, they had a doctor who was a role model for them, they witnessed someone be sick, or they themselves were extremely sick,  etc etc…

For me?

Well, I don’t really have a clear answer.

I don’t have any family members who are in the medical world.  I’ve never witnessed someone be extremely sick - in fact I had barely entered a hospital. I have no beautiful story to accompany it . 

I simply thought that since I excelled in school, that I wasn’t grossed out by an open bloody body and that I didn’t want to be stuck inside a science lab all day, medical school just seemed like the next logical step.  

[ is that sad?! ]

So when people ask me this famous question, “Why did you choose to become a doctor?”, I’m never sure what to answer them…

There’s always this type of disappointment in people’s faces when I tell them that there’s no special reason why I decided to choose this difficult path.

I believe that people want to hear this wonderful story out of me, to believe that there’s this inspirational “calling” behind every doctor.

But does this make my choice any lesser?

I don’t believe so.
