There's a number of you (engineer + doctor), though quite rare. I have a few friends who are engineers as well as doctors. You're like unicorns in your field. The Neo and Morpheus of the medical industry - you can see things and understand things that most people cant in your typical field (medicine). Kudos to you!

This was actually my dream career path when I was younger. Unfortunately there's just no way I would have afforded the time and resources to pursue both, and I'd never heard of Biomedical Engineering where I grew up.
