Ophthalmology: I am often asked why I chose this particular specialty. Like many decisions in life, there are many influences that mold an important path like a career choice. Depending on who is asking, and depending on how much time I have, I choose to answer with any one of the multiple real factors that influenced my decision. I sometimes bring up my mentor Dr. Barrett Haik, a man that took me under his wing and would take a serious paternal role both teaching me, directing me, or just stopping me from making decisions he did not approve of. I sometimes mention my love of neurosciences, and how the retina is an “approachable part of the brain”, where I envision neural theory and neurological therapies first becoming truly accessible. To an aesthete I may point out how the eye and the retina are curiously beautiful and psychologically powerful in imagery. To others I may explain that retinal microsurgery is both delicate and rewarding, and that by sheer coincidence it has many physical parallels to my early training on the Hammond organ that my mother pushed me on as a child, with seated bimanual surgery and bipedal controls. Sometimes I may mention my great uncle Dr. Esteban Isern, whom I barely met before his dementia waned him, but who was himself a brilliant ophthalmologist and who my own father saw as a paternal figure. Then there are many people and opportunities that aligned in ways I could have not imagined. They all made my early career decisions. But as life proceeds and one faces unforeseen difficulties, these unconnected influences take on the form of pillars to build real foundations upon. While not having Dr. Haik or my father or my great uncle around I can still look upon them and decide to honor them as best as I can by working hard in my career and help my patients and advance our knowledge through clinical research. I guess this is my way of giving thanks to them, and on this Thanksgiving, I felt the need to remember them on this little post.
