I moved to Japan in 2019. Four and a half years later, it is time to begin a new journey.
I am pleased to announce that I have been accepted to multiple medical schools in the United States this year. I will return home and matriculate to medical school this summer.
Yes, I’ll be an older medical school student. But, I’m still young, and I’m ready to learn something new.
A frequently asked question is what am I planning on for a future specialty in the medical field? The honest answer is I have no idea. My future specialty will be the intersection between what I am interested in and what I am talented at.
Another frequently asked question is why am I changing careers? That’s a story for another day.
I said this when I left private practice, but it’s still true. These past years in Japan have been some of the happiest in my life. I hope you and I have many more happy years to come.
Best wishes for the new phase of your life! Suggestion: at my age of almost 80, find it difficult to find one person who can address my issues. Everyone refers me to someone else. Or says, mecine does not know. Get into geriatrics. But then you will be seeing only old people. Not sure if you want to do that!! Sai Bhatia, Riverside patient.
