    Wanted to be a heart surgeon when I was a kid. Gave up on that in high school when the anxiety hit and I started shaking any time I was even slightly stressed. Figured that wasn’t the career path for me.

    I’m doing really well. Married, setting up to take over the family business with my partner. I still love heart-related medical stuff and read/watch things to scratch the itch.

    Still anxious, still very shaky. I made the right choice.

      Are you a cardiologist now? Anything you can say to scare nicotine addicts from smoking or vaping lol?

      So then get into robotic surgery. It takes all of the shakes out.

      If that is the only reason you gave up then I’d say you fucked up.
