Richard’s Answer
I chose to become a physician because I have many family members who are physicians and it looked like a field in which I find job satisfaction. However, I did not truly become passionate about the field of medicine until my third year of medical school during clinical rotations. That was the first time I saw an image guided procedure. I was fascinated by the intersection between medical imaging and treatment. I decided that I wanted to become an interventional radiologist. Now I get to perform image guided procedures every day including angiograms, TIPS, radioembolization of tumors with Y-90, and thermal ablation of tumors.

When I was 5 years old I received my first chemistry set I loved to see what happened when I mixed different chemicals . Which in turn I wanted to know all I could about the chemical. I love figuring out puzzles the harder the better, which helped me with decision making , In my spare time I would do research I wanted to know everything about Psychology why people thought they way they do and there actions. I enjoy helping others and I am really good at it because I am so passionate about taking the time to do the research to find answers , solutions, and this is how I knew the medical field was right for me. The medical field is such a rewarding field , You could be at a restaurant and someone could go into a seizure knowing that out of the whole restaurant you are able to help that person because you know exactly what to do is very rewarding. When you have been in the medical field for so long and you have seen so many things, when you are in a situation anywhere you just react because in your mind you already know what is going on with the person and you just react.
