Patient agreed, after a few minutes granddaughter asked the patient if it hurts, because we are almost done, with her best smile. Nope the big needle didn’t bother her at all.

She walked out of the room looked up and said I want to fix bones just like you.
She was 3. Within the week she had old X-rays in her windows learning bone structure, and finding fractures.

At 5 she fell playing soccer, hurting her arm, looking at her X-ray on the screen, she informed the ED doctor that wasn’t just a growth plate, it was definitely a fracture, “ I am really bad playing soccer, it’s a good thing I want to be a doctor.” Pink cast please.

She was correct, it definitely was fractured.

Yep some know exactly that sports are not for them, but want to fix those who play.
I assume that she is an orthopedist now?

Ding! Ding! Ding! the best story about career lightning striking at a very young age.
