What do you enjoy most about practicing medicine?
What I enjoy most is being able to connect with patients on a human level. Yes, they're there for me to treat their symptoms, but knowing that they are a human and treating the whole body instead of just the symptoms, I think is most important. Being able to connect with them on a personal level to better understand who they are so I can best help them is what I thoroughly enjoy. When I was bedside in the emergency room, I really loved being able to connect with patients in that way, and I thoroughly, thoroughly enjoyed it.
