But I would like the opportunity to advance in the medical career that I could be proud of.

What would be your top 3 book recommendations regardless of genre and why?
Suzanne Austin: My three most recommended books. It's been a while since I've read a book which is sad to say, unless it was for learning something on how to do something, which I do like how to do books. I'm always trying to figure out how to do something else, how to learn something new. Um, but as far as like, genre, I do like Nicholas Sparks, like a romance movie but not too smutty. I mean, it's kind of weird to say. But, um, but mostly probably how two books or romance books would be the, and as far as the third children's books, I love children's books and I love reading them to my kids. So anybody, and when I worked in special education I got the opportunity a lot to sit and read books to kids and I love doing that.
