What do you enjoy most about being a physician?

I knew I wanted to be a physician since the age of 14. My grades were good, which allowed me to study any area I was interested in, so I focused on the sciences. I was very involved in church and participated in many philanthropic activities throughout my childhood, such as charity work in indigentplaces and working with individuals who are sick. Being a physician is something I knew I had a passion for from a very young age.
