14. If you could pursue any profession regardless of physical or mental ability what would it be?
Tough choice! But if it’s regardless of abilities, then…I’d have to go with a doctor who is the best diagnostician and treatment planner ever—like an Uber-Super House, MD, but with a heart of gold. I’d want to be highly intelligent, compassionate, and resilient; so that I could help the maximum number of suffering people possible. I would be trained in every specialty, including psychiatry. I would know how to factor in psychiatric illness and symptoms, so as to not under- or over- estimate their contribution to the patient’s condition(s). I’d put every technology at my disposal to work for my patients—computer diagnostic programs, e-visits, symptom trackers for my patients that I would help monitor for danger signs, and medical records would be widely available between my fellow doctors and I. I would do anything else I could possibly think of to help my patients.
15. Who are a couple of your role models (real or fictional)?
Jesus; for faith, spirituality and morals. I never really thought of anyone else as a role model, per se, more like certain attributes of various people/characters have been desirable for me. I am having some brain fog right now, but the following are a couple that I can think of right now…. Real: Leonardo daVinci, for his passion in all his endeavors. Fictional: Dr. Julian Bashir (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine), for his compassion and dedication to his patients and his friends.
25. Name one thing someone could do or say to you that would make your day?
That I made them happy, even in a small way.
29. Name three things you are grateful for!
Faith, family [both biological and not (including friends who become family) it doesn’t matter], and animals. There’s a lot more to be grateful for, too!
Thanks, bananaantics!
