I haven't chimed in yet, largely because my chosen occupation has kept me really busy lately (there are 570-odd unread PDML messages in my mailbox, too!).
I'm a physician, specifically a pediatrician, and still more specifically a pediatric oncologist. Yeah, I know, what a drag--a friend and colleague said that when she told people her specialty at cocktail parties it was "like dropping a turd in the punchbowl." I really like what I do, though. I -never- have a boring day, we can cure most of our patients, and even when cure is out of reach we can make things better for them and their families. And, the thrill of getting Christmas cards and baby pictures from grown-up kids I treated 5 or 10 or 20 years ago is wonderful. >From the time I was in high school, I wanted to be an academic physician--patient care, teaching, and research--and that is exactly what I'm doing. So I consider myself very, very fortunate, in that way and many others. Cheers, Rick http://www.photo.net/photos/RickW __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam?
