How I fell in love with pulmonary critical care medicine:
It was love at first sight for the intensive care unit. I loved the intensity, how critically ill the patients are, making life and death decisions and helping patients and families with end of life issues. I stay in love with pulmonary because of the relationships I have with my patients.
