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?
