“I
continued to work in research and took a job in a neuroscience lab at a major
medical school in 1998, where I will be working until matriculation at my new
medical school this August. Part of my story for choosing medicine is seeing it
from the side as the patient first, seeing doctors of all calibers, and seeing
specialists in nearly every field. I thought, "I can do that!"
I could make someone well the way they did for me. I would listen to my
patients the way that my earlier doctors didn't, and the way my favorite
doctors do now.” Ashley L Pistorio
