How did you come to choose medicine, and then interventional neuroradiology as a career?

Ever since I was a child, I have been attracted to medicine; first with the innocence of someone who sees a physician like an almost unattainable figure and someone to imitate, then thanks to my affinity with the biological sciences, and later due to my awareness that medicine was a weapon against disease and suffering.

In my opinion, there is nothing more comforting than seeing how a doctor can act to resolve a long period of suffering, and thus change the future of a person and/or a family.

My choice to go into interventional neuroradiology followed a natural evolution from neurosurgery which was my first specialty to a less invasive technique.

There was also the stimulus to face a new specialty in ful1 development, which represented a major challenge.
