In pursuit of who, what, how, and why: Meet @pb50 1 day ago | By Teresa, Volunteer Mentor (@hopeful33250)Comment receiving replies
When years later I had transitioned to Neurophysiology diagnostics (EEGs, EMGs, Evoked Potential), I always had to bite my lip when clueless people would ask my male nurse friends why they didn't do med school.

Patients asked me that question more than anyone else. I told the stroke patients that doctors can't get them on their feet like I could. That was before PMR was diagnosed when I had a hard time getting up on my own feet.
I liked the neurosurgery/neurology realm the most. Some cardiac electrophysiology (EP) studies amazed me but that was too much electricity for me.
I have had some electrical problems myself with trigeminal neuralgia, peripheral neuralgia and spinal stenosis. EMGs and nerve condition studies are brutal if you ask me. I was clueless about those studies and I told many patients they weren't so bad before I ever experienced one myself.
Maybe the electronics in the military influenced me more than I realized.
You need to visit the PMR forum more often after this Spotlight is finished.
