I was interested in a lot of things going through school; for a semester, I entertained the idea of being a gastroenterologist. The next, I thought pathology was the proper route. Eventually, though, I defaulted to family medicine. Little bit of everything, easy way to make a good living. Physical therapy was also an interest...I sort of dabbled in everything without picking a single one to focus on.

[Is that lazy? Maybe. But Cordell still had a great deal of medical knowledge, and he'd at least gone through school and gotten out with something that could people good. He could give back, even if it was mostly dealing with families who didn't know how to combat runny noses or wanted to know why their ears felt so clogged up. It wasn't glamorous work by any stretch of the imagination, family medicine, but it was necessary.]

Things happen, though. I'd actually like to open my own practice in family medicine, now that I can...give other things my time.
