Andrew Schneider, MD
I can’t remember a time where I did not want to be a physician. I’ve pretty much known since the age of three. I don’t know what prompted me down that path, but I’ve always been obsessed with medicine and was one of the few kids that enjoyed going to their pediatrician.
Throughout my undergraduate and medical school training, I wanted to become an internist and eventually pursue Cardiology. However, my first night on my surgical rotation during my third year of medical school changed all that. It was nine o’clock at night, and we were doing a vascular anastomosis on a dialysis patient. The attending surgeon gave me the needle driver and said, “start sewing.” I was hooked from that point on and I never looked back.
