How I fell in love with medicine and my specialty:
I fell in love with rheumatology because of the intellectual challenge of solving complex diagnostic puzzles. Many rheumatologic conditions are multifaceted, requiring a deep understanding of immunology, internal medicine and critical thinking to arrive at the right diagnosis and treatment. The friendly people of rheumatology (patients and colleagues) also add to its appeal.
