The Joy of Pediatrics

Lawrence F. Nazarian MD1
 1 29 Surrey Place, Penfield, NY 14526

When I was trying to get into medical school, part of my answer to the question about why I wanted to be a doctor was that I like people. I gave that response with some reservation because I had been warned not to come up with such a trite reply. But it was true, so I said it.

A major reason I chose pediatrics as a career is the joy I get from children. After 20 years in this work, I still get a tremendous kick from the unconditional smile of a 4-month old baby or the exuberant hug of a toddler.
