While I have served in public office for 30 years, my professional training is as a pharmacist, not a lawyer or an accountant.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I am a career physician. I practiced for 32 years before I began my career as a public servant.
I do not practice clinical medicine and hence do not treat individual patients. My career is in medical science.
I have had a career in public service.
I started in high school and then I went onto professional training after that.
You can't be a practicing attorney without being very disciplined and detail-oriented and having good time management.
There is a clear matter that I am not a practicing physician; I have never been a practitioner; everybody has known for decades.
I come from a modest background. I put myself through college and law school and a postdoctorate program in tax law.
I can't point to anything that has been more responsible for my career than my training.
In my 39 years in the military, I have learned that you are not a profession just because you say you are. You have to earn it and re-earn it and re-evaluate it from time to time.
Discipline is part of my professional training as a lawyer.
