My decision to practice medicine came later than most, during my last year of college at Indiana University, in Bloomington. During a dinner to celebrate my acceptance to medical school, my family asked what ultimately had drawn me to the field. On a napkin I wrote the 13 reasons why I chose to become a doctor. My family framed the napkin as a gift for my graduation from residency, and now it is hanging in my office for all to see. The best reasons are "truly help people every day" and "active, daily problem solving." The most fun: "scrubs."
