“My biggest inspiration is humanity. Everywhere one looks, there are people who need tending to and who need to be cared for. Illness spares no one, and the necessity for experienced medical practitioners continues to widen as time advances. The field of medicine is often overwhelming and intimidating, but I cannot imagine myself in any other position than in one that involves treating my fellow man. In a way, medicine is to me like a love-letter to mankind.”
