The rush of adrenaline in this situation was something she had never experienced before and it was oddly exciting. The victim survived, the driver was caught and this incident was one of many unrelated events over a period of 12 years, that eventually made her realize that becoming a doctor was what she MUST do. I felt challenged by the movement to raise the bar on my own expectations and then went to medical school. Medicine felt right in that social and economic climate of uncertainty as a way to excel personally and professionally. MomMD members also thank and credit their husbands and families for supporting their dream.
None regret their decision and the path they took.
In short, when you love what you do and work with love, work becomes pleasure. MomMD now has an online discussion forum. This forum differs from the ongoing active email discussion group in that non-members and members can post messages anonymously if they wish. Messages can be posted according to category for medical students, premedical students, residents, doctors and general content. There are many other mentees signed up and waiting for a suitable mentor.
