“I have a strong interest in both Emergency and Cardio-Respiratory Medicine,” Hayley replied, “but I specialized in Emergency Medicine first. I figured you can pretty much go anywhere from there if you want to after all.”

“Indeed,” Tija replied with another nod. “And being able to handle the pressure and stress of emergency medicine is definitely more than helpful as a Starfleet Medical Officer. But other than that rational part of your decision, what else made you chose emergency medicine?”

“I guess it really just felt like I could do the most good there.” Hayley answered. “Even as a kid I couldn’t stand seeing people in pain. Being able to relieve that, it’s just…special.” Hayley paused and shook her head a little, “You know, I don’t think I’ve ever said that out loud. I’ve been giving the rational answers all my life. It seemed to be what was expected of me.”

Hayley took a moment to think about the latest question, “Bedside manner is always something I am working on, I tend to come across a bit awkwardly at times. I also need to expand my knowledge and experience in treating non-human species. I have only what was taught in the Academy Med School courses and fairly limited actual experience. As much as I would like to study Cardio-Respiratory some day it would be much more practical to focus on that right now.”
