Our granddaughter, is in premed, full ride. We all have had the conversation about physicians debt starting a practice, and MALPRACTICE cost. Other physicians she has shadowed have had discussions with her.
At 3 she announced she wanted to be a doctor, while she reading X-rays with her grandpa, at the office. She asked for a grays anatomy for her 5 birthday.
She is going To be an Orthopedic Surgeon with eyes wide open.

That sounds wonderful! I can relate a tiny bit, I had a very happy baby sitter when I was five. I asked her what made her so happy and she said because she was studying chemical engineering. I had no idea what it was but I decided from that moment on that’s what I was going to do....and I did. Only to find out, much later, that watching chemical interactions for hours in beakers was not really my thing. Lol. Of course your granddaughter choose the right path for herself.
