What I kinda meant is that your worked your *** off for a lot of years for peanuts to get your education and learn difficult and challenging life saving skills (Just spent a week in LLU Hospital Transplant Center with my wife) and encountered some amazing folks working as Interns and Residents who made our experience so much better because of how they interacted with us. You never lost your thirst for fishing even while you were working 20 hour days 6-7 days a week and now you are reaping the dividends of that hard work, patience and sheer will to get through. Nice to see a happy ending.
