“The memory of my grandmother’s surgery has guided me as a physician. It has always been important to me to give the utmost in patient care. My experiences as a family member and doctor have strengthened my resolve to serve my community and to become someone who heals people. I got to know my patients best not while I was inserting lines, tubes, or catheters, but when I talked to them and their families. I realized that they found relief if only for a few moments, knowing that we cared for them. I strove to become a physician who provides patients with peace of mind and improves their quality of life. If I can alleviate my patients’ pain and suffering and set them on the path to recovery, I will have fulfilled my duty as a pain medicine doctor. I hope to achieve these larger goals and also to perhaps one day help a young child’s loving grandmother, as someone did for me.”
