What do you like about this subject?

This is my chosen profession and I enjoy helping others.

What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field?

I hope to give people valuable information that will improve their lives. Too often, when people see their Drs. they are rushed and do not get a chance to ask questions. Hopefully I can help.

Something interesting about this subject that others may not know:
