What do you enjoy most about practicing medicine?
What I love most is being back at bedside because it gives me more time with the patients and the families. It's 12 hours of one-on-one with the patients and the families, and then we have reunions and holiday parties, and you get to see them come back in a healthy state, and you're like, I was a part of you getting to go home and have a family. It just warms your heart. I've seen them when they were literally on the brink of death, and I might have even done chest compressions on them, and now I'm getting to see them turn 1 and 2 and 14 and 15 and hit these milestones in their life that at the time you kind of questioned if they were going to make it there. The bonds that you make are truly meaningful in life. I'm friends with so many of the families that I've bonded with over these past 21 years. One family I'm super close with, I actually transported their son the day he was born and then admitted him back from surgery 2 days later, and that was 16 or 17 years ago. I've watched their daughter grow and she's in law school now. That's what I missed being on transport as opposed to bedside, so I've always maintained my bedside even while full-time on transport.
