I am a medical doctor trained in internal medicine. Approximately fourteen years ago I became quite interested in occupational medicine for many good reasons some of which I will touch on. I started my medical education and training in my late twenties. I was well formed as a man before I went into the medical field having done many other types of jobs during my formative years. Many of these jobs have been very physically demanding. To mention a few I have been a migrant worker through my junior and high school years. To pay for my undergraduate education I have worked in construction and have even briefly driven an eighteen wheeler. I am personally familiar with heavy labor and I am convinced that it helped in developing my character. I have no regrets regarding my work experiences which have afforded me the ability to honestly say that I can relate very well to both the employee and the employer since I have been both. I believe this is why it was spontaneous for me to adopt the philosophy I have adopted.
