I believe being medically inclined could aid us within the medical field searching for a way to better quality of life and balance in the challenges we face in the healthcare system. This includes, but is not restricted to, steps that need to be taken on the road to self understanding and what may be the best fit for you in the fields of practice. Being able to walk the journey with a little more clarity and ease is something worth pursuing.
