I was going to be a rockstar. It was my dream to tour the world, promoting platinum records at sold out stadiums in front of thousands of screaming fans.
But while chasing that dream, I encountered a series of life-changing events that I could not ignore, and an improbable new dream emerged… medicine.
So, I put down my drumsticks and grabbed a stethoscope to begin the unlikeliest of pursuits—completing a physician assistant degree, one of the most rigorous medical programs in the country.
Armed with a microcassette recorder, I was determined to capture a comprehensive account of my training and most personal moments. These audio journals would chronicle how I learned to help and heal others, while struggling to hold on to my sense of self—and sanity.
