Favorite ski Run?
I’m an amateur skier, but I’m excited to get better.
How many bones have you broken?
Nose and left wrist.
If you weren’t a doctor, what would you be?
I would be a musician/artist or have a trade, it could have been anything as long as the opportunity had presented itself.
Pineapple on pizza?
Yes! Hawaiian is my favorite (to Italians’ dismay).
Do You eat mac n’ cheese with a spoon or fork?
Fork.
Is a hot dog a sandwich?
No, different bun, different shaped meat. Eating rice and soup isn’t the same as Risotto, or pasta with bread isn’t a pasta sandwich. Ingredients are shared but for sure they are not in the same arrangement.
