One of my earliest childhood memories was picking up a toy stethoscope, an otoscope, and a reflex hammer, and “inspecting” my family for any illnesses. Around age 10, I started checking my grandmother’s sugar levels, disinfecting small cuts, doing research online according to people’s symptoms, and other meek procedures.
