"I chose a career as a thoracic surgeon because I come from a family of doctors and surgeons. Growing up, I would hear my parents and grandfather tell stories about patients they had. I was enthralled hearing stories about the lives they had saved and realized what a positive impact I could have on others' lives if I followed the same career path. My father and grandfather are plastic surgeons, and my mother is a thoracic surgeon. After hearing them talk about their professions, I decided thoracic surgery was more appealing to me."
