1. The body is a complex thing and needs fixing in every nook and cranny. Which area of medicine is most appealing to you?
Pediatrics (Children) Neurology (Brain) OBGYN/Neonatal (Pregnant women and babies) Cardiology (Heart) Whatever I can get my hands on-- I'm just honored to have this opportunity.
2. Things can get pretty hairy in a hospital. How do you react when things start to get out of control?
I just try to listen to whatever anyone tells me I can do to help. My brain can't handle it so I tend to listen to my heart. I'm a leader-- I start handing out jobs and instructing others on what they should be doing. Blame it on someone else. I know what I'm doing-- it was definitely not my fault! Well, first my whole body freezes up and I get very quiet, but once I'm in my own zone, I can usually figure it out.
3. We all know doctors are smart-- or so we'd hope, at least-- but what else do you think makes a good surgeon?
Skills. How good they look in their scrubs! Bedside manner. Reputation. Compassion.
4. A sterile workspace is incredibly important for a doctor. But in your personal life, how organized are you?
I'm pretty messy. But I swear I know where everything is... don't worry. It's basically a biohazard-- don't.tell.a.soul. Extremely-- I have colored post-its, folders, highlighters, and paper clips galore! All appropriately corresponding to a certain subject, of course. Relatively. I mean, things aren't color-coded or anything, but everything is in order. Eh. Who cares? My work is what's important.
5. Sure, it's hard to admit you're not perfect, but what would you say is your biggest flaw?
I'm cocky sometimes. I let people take advantage of me. I can be selfish. I'm overly emotional. I'm not really a people person.
6. Unwinding at the end of the day is a necessary process in your field. How do you like to let loose?
Dance it out! Pop some pills, of course. There are way too many bottles lying around work, anyway... no one will know the difference. Hit the bottle. Hit me again, bartender. And again. And again. I just curl up in a ball on my bed. Do something I love to do like bake.
