Last year, my Osteopathic application was made in haste and was submitted as a back up plan to failing Allopathic applications. As a part of completing the primary application and also preparing for Osteopathic interviews, I discovered that the Osteopathic philosophy appeared to be a better fit for me. Shadowing an Osteopathic physician as well as an Allopathic physician has solidified this observation. Last year’s failed attempt to gain entry to medical school has been soul crushing and has forced me to consider other career paths. During this period, I have examined many options.
My ACL Tear Journey At The Hospital A quick turn on a soccer field led me to the worst experience in my life.

For as long as I can remember my brother, Riad, has boasted about how amazing Y&G is and how it has changed his life. My brother is three years older then me, so as a freshman he was a senior in Y&G.
I went through several misdiagnoses before finally being diagnosed with osteoid osteoma, a tumor within the hip socket. Doctors also found that I suffered from femoral acetabular impingement, where the ball did not fit properly into the hip socket causing extreme discomfort and inflammation of the tumor. Both conditions required an invasive hip surgery followed by a year-long recovery. The highly specialized surgery had to take place in at Scottish Rite Children’s Hospital in Dallas, Texas. My family was still living below the poverty line at the time and struggled to raise the funds to transport me to Dallas.
Out of all the experiences I have had in my life, one of the most memorable ones would be having gastric bypass surgery. There are so many things I went through to get to where I am now.

I was born with a single ventricle. The doctors in Albania, lacking modern technology, wrote off any chances that I could live a healthy normal life.

My parents were able to get in contact with a charity in Italy, in which my mom and I lived with a host family for three months. There I had the surgery that helped initially save my life but it wasn’t a lasting fix.
February 26 I went into the surgery room, frightened of something going wrong. It was a rough two weeks, harder than any conditioning or the flu I have ever had. The pain was unbearable. With every move of my hip, ankle or knee came a sharp pain, bringing tears to my eyes and me calling for my mom. Soon came therapy;The most boring and uncomfortable thing someone could experience.
A Phlebotomists Nightmare Deep within the bowels of Camden Clark Medical Center I began my workday as any other. My basket consisted of sharp fresh needles, silky gauze, alcohol swabs, and several unused tubes. My patients dreadfully awaited to be drawn as I stock my supplies.
