It's not THAT interesting. Nor is it a huge secret - I just try to keep too many personal details off the searchable parts of TE. If you want more, PM me.
The general gist is that I've left my prior career (as a lawyer) and am in my 2nd semester of pre-medical classes. I hope to matriculate in medical school in the fall of 2015 (1 more year of classes, MCAT, applications). There are a lot of reasons, and I spent a long time debating whether I was too old to start 10+ years of school/residency/etc. But - the decision came down to wanting to do something I'm passionate about for the rest of my life that I believe will be meaningful in a more concrete way than what I did in law ever could. I didn't know how much I missed science until I got back in it - so far, 1000% the right decision for me There you have it!
Now....hopefully poor MP can stop being reminded of what I'm sure must have been a g-d-awful injury.
