Finally, I actually spent some time on an ophthalmology rotation and hated it." It was a "fill in" rotation with a local plastic surgeon in Indianapolis that unveiled the area of medicine that became his passion.
"I loved the variety of operations and the uniqueness of each, but probably more important, I really enjoyed the patients - before and after the operations," he states.
