And even though I got very little exposure to that during my largely classical Christian homeschooling education that didn't really have much of a focus in the physical sciences at all, I fell in love with all that stuff. Anatomy, physiology, biochemistry, biomechanics, organic chemistry, all of the science, like the hard science stuff. I loved it. And that surprised me.

But I wound up getting so in love with that that I went pre-med. I took the MCATs. I actually did get accepted to six different medical schools and opted not to go to medical school.

Yeah. Okay. A pretty large amount of education in this as a background. But the reason that I took that job in hip and knee surgical sales was there were two MD-PhD programs, one at Duke and one at UPenn, that I did not get into that I really wanted to get into. So I thought, well, I'm going to go work in the private sector for a while and see if I can
