Why I Chose Medicine

I went into medicine because I wanted to help people. After suffering a trauma myself, I experienced the true power of the doctor-patient relationship from the patient perspective. I chose neurology because I find the central nervous system and the diseases that affect it to be fascinating. The central nervous system is one among the final frontiers of science!

Hobbies and Special Interests

Spending time with my wife and children, movies, eating out, casual drinks with friends and family, barbecuing, swimming, cars, and of course Game of Thrones.
