Predicting doctoring... since 1972.

Wow! A shocker from my childhood…

• My parents’ home bathroom recently had the wall tiles removed to install grab bars for their safety.
• They called me to come see the insides of the walls, which were covered in cartoon sketches drawn by my siblings and I the last time the bathroom was renovated.
• That was 45 years ago, when I was just 5 years old!
• I immediately spotted my own handwriting, but was surprised to see what I had written… “Pat Foye was here 1972. When I grow up I want to be a doctor.”
• It’s funny because my recollection was that I was mid-way through college when I first decided to become a doctor. There were no doctors in my family (my parents were farmers who immigrated to the USA).
• But apparently my 5-year-old self knew my career path way back in 1972, and left myself a note to remind the mid-life me!
