Not too long after being admitted into the hospital he passed away with family beside him. I wanted to know more about what occurred in his body and how exactly he passed. My grandfathers’ passing made me very interested in Cardiology and Cardiothoracic Surgery. The complexity of the cardiac muscle and its importance to the body made me interested in becoming a Cardiothoracic Surgeon. Before my grandfathers’ decline in health I was interested in becoming a physician, but was unaware what field I wanted to work in. Heart Disease is not a death sentence. Unfortunately, my grandfather was unable to have surgery due to his other illnesses. His passing was not in vain and it allowed me to find a career path I am genuinely interested in knowing
