Modern medicine, especially modern diagnostic medicine is truly something to marvel at. I felt as if I was in the sick bay of the USS Enterprise.
Glad it went OK. When I was a physics major I took a class in Medical Physics. It wasn't one majors normally took, but it fit my schedule. Very interesting stuff. It turned out my school (Wisconsin) was big in that field and at that time they were working on positron emission tomography. If I went to grad school that's probably what I would have wanted to go into. Sort of the intersection of physics, medicine, and engineering.
