Great to be with you.
I became sick as a child, actually, in high school and missed a year of school.
And I was quite fascinated because nobody could make a diagnosis, but they had me in isolation and said I had some strange illness.
that they didn't define.
And even today as a physician, I'm kind of curious what it was.
But then I worked in a hospital every year until I was a junior in medical school.
So I just became fascinated with the hospital environment and that there were technologies and people who actually thought deeply about helping somebody feel better.
And I'd felt sick for so long as a child that I thought, this is a great opportunity.
So that's kind of how it started.
People often ask me, how did you get to where you are?
How did you do all that?
And with each journey, I always wondered, why me?
And how did I get here?
And I think what I've come to believe is that I've always been anxious to answer questions.
But what I really think is in spine surgery, I focused on cancer of the spine tumors.
And nobody really described how you actually operate on those.
And they're pretty rare.
but pretty devastating if you have one.
So I spent a lot of time trying to figure that out.
How could I actually take a tumor out and improve somebody's life and longevity?
