I don't want to be too melodramatic, but even after all these years of being an internist ( I am the first and only doc in my family) I still have to pinch myself at times because I never envisioned doing this as a job when I was a kid or teenager. It sort of just fell into place when my Pre Vet advisor suggested med school over vet school because my grades weren't conducive to getting into vet school with the first try, but since the state of WV had/has 3 med schools he figured I would get into one of the med schools at least on my first try, which did happen. And I never did apply to any vet school, figured I was more infatuated with James Harriet's books than really becoming a vet when I had to start being practical about my eventual vocation. So I do think you meet certain folks along your journey and my pre vet advisor gave me the best advice ever, when I most needed it. I do enjoy, even with all of the crap mentioned above doing this gig, and I have had a lot of fun with the secure video chat implementation, albeit not without some stress. My nurse mentioned today, how the practice has changed significantly in her 3 years of working with me, she helped get me started with secure texting and now the telehealth stuff, which is comprising I bet at least 75% of my total daily visits now.
