Orthopedic Surgery?
I'm gonna be a surgeon!! Not what I planned or expected but orthopedic surgery is the reality set before me after the match. Never in a hundred years would I have anticipated the shift in careers that has occurred over the past 10 months - oncology to cardiology to family med to er back to cardiology back to family med & er until finally orthopedics. The journey has been long and hard but so worth it. As of last week I matched at Henry Ford Macomb Hospital in Orthopedic Surgery. The next five years of my life will be spent in Detroit, Michigan learning to do surgery and manage orthopedic issues. I love orthopedics but it is still so weird to think of myself as a surgeon. If I ever turn into a snob, you have my permission to slap me :) We are excited and scared and nervous about what lies ahead but that is okay. My wife is warming up to the idea (no pun intended) and we look forward to what God has in store in the days ahead.

It's really no fun to think about you moving that far again! We love having you close right now, but we are excited that God is blessing you with your passion. I know you will be a great surgeon and we won't let you get a big head. Maybe you can do Mike's knee replacement's one day....:)
