I chose medicine because it reminds me of my grandmother, who used to always care about other people in a homeopathic way. Medicine helps me bring changes in the community, something I care about, and I especially love the geriatric population. Providing and receiving care is like two sides of a road, the provider side as well as the patient side, both working hard. Being a Nurse Practitioner, my goal is to connect with my patients and understand what it means for them to become healthy, to explore their knowledge and treat accordingly. One way I do this is by listening to my patients.
