Prior to 1975, I spent 15 years working in the medical field as technical director of the Cardio-Pulomonary Divisions of The Johns Hopkins and University of Maryland Hospitals, and also taught cardio-pulomonary technology at Spokane Community College in Spokane, Washington for a couple years.

Hi Gary,
If you were to rotate back the hands of time, are you still going to choose music and freelance writing as your full time career, or work full time in the medical field? From your past experiences, which incidence you encountered the most stressful when you were still working in the Cardio-Pulmonary Division? Did it demand long hours of work beyond regular working schedules?
