Go ahead. So when I was young, I thought about going into the medical profession, hung out with a local neurosurgeon for about a year, found out that I didn’t have the taste for medicine and was way too intense for me. And it says, I always say, as a dentist, you have to be very, very committed to kill a patient. So dentistry’s a little less stressful in that respect. Plus, I can handle outside life made five. While most MDs, they’re there from dawn till dusk and go through several wives during their career.
