I've been working as a child's medical doctor for about 18 years now and then started working as an adult as a medical doctor. I'm not a medical doctor myself, but I have been practicing for about 5 years now. For my time, I've been a licensed medical therapist and a licensed physician.

You're not a medical doctor but you've been working as one?
Dr. Nick, is that you?
That makes me a little embarrassed and a little embarrassed to be called a doctor by your mom!
I started working in the Child Traumatic Brain Injuries (CTBI) program at the beginning of my career as a medical assistant in the early 2000s. I had to convince my father to let me work at the trauma center when I first showed up because they were concerned it'd be a "recreational" thing. He was worried that I was causing brain damage and needed me more than anyone else. I was working with children so I had to make them feel safe. I became a regular patient of the trauma center. I practiced in the trauma center for 10 years and I eventually became the chief trauma care specialist there. I spent most of my time working with trauma patients suffering from brain injuries, and I also worked with cancer patients.
Do you mind me asking?\n\nI feel like I'm being weird by asking...
We're all licensed and we're supposed to tell parents what their kids are getting and not tell them what their kids are getting but sometimes I just slip up and tell parents what their kids are getting that's not what they expected.
Yes, Dr. Nick.
