Why I Chose Healthcare

My interest in the medical profession began during my school days, and Biology was my favorite subject. I made a microscope from scrap to view the mysterious world of microorganisms. During medical school, I found Neurology to be a very fascinating and challenging field. I found the human nervous system the most interesting and important part of the body. If you look back 25 years, you can see the significant advancement in this field, including the development of diagnostic tests and new therapies. The future also holds exciting possibilities.

I like the challenge, daily stimulation, and learning each day, and I believe in listening to and spending time with my patients. In Neurology, tests are important but the diagnosis is made with accurate history and physical examination.
