I do work half time as a historian of medicine at Northwestern University's Feinberg School of Medicine, and I started my career with work in the 19th century.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I went to medical school after having decided to do so somewhere between my junior and senior year at Harvard - very late. I initially wanted to be an intellectual historian.
I did a term at Cambridge University studying medicine, so I could potentially have followed in Mum and Dad's footsteps and become a doctor.
Later in the fifties I got involved in kinetic studies using my long forgotten math background.
I studied in a medical college and qualified myself as a medical graduate.
I do not practice clinical medicine and hence do not treat individual patients. My career is in medical science.
I was in the military, and then I went to university to study biology.
By the time I received my doctorate in American studies in 1957, I was in the twisted grip of a disease of our times in which the sufferer experiences an overwhelming urge to join the 'real world.' So I started working for newspapers.
I am a career physician. I practiced for 32 years before I began my career as a public servant.
With a lot of help from my high school teachers, I went to college and became a medical tech at a clinic outside Kansas City.
I had a doctorate in biological anthropology. I got a post-doc at CWRU dental school in 1983 teaching gross anatomy.
