My Secret Obsession: Medical Books I Have No Business Understanding

I’m 15 and reading a book meant for second-year med students.

Why?

Because it’s fascinating.

Because the human body is a complete mystery. But it’s MY mystery.

Because I love knowing things I’m not supposed to know yet.

Because reading is my only drug.

Today my doctor asked me if I was planning to become one.

I smiled.

The answer is yes.

The answer is always yes.

The answer will probably stay “yes” even if life doesn’t let me.
