He shares his passion by stating: “I went into healthcare because I love to help people and I thought practicing medicine would satisfy that desire. However, after I finished my Anesthesia training, I felt that I missed the patient relationships. So during my senior training year, while doing pain rotation, I fell in love with the specialty and found that it would satisfy my desire of helping patients; particularly alleviating their suffering.”
