And so what happened to me at that point, and I think this set me on the path and ultimately led into the functional medicine model, was on my way home, after I finished my two years, my family was in the car.

And by the way, my father kind of lived vicariously with me as a professor because I think he would always have liked to have been a professor himself. So he kind of liked me in that position.
