Bryant Giles DO is a senior Ophthalmology Resident and he never intended to be an ophthalmologist. In this series we are going to discuss how plans change and how life leads us to opportunities that we would never have considered without the serendipity of life. Bryant focuses on his specialty but along the way we discuss life and different universities and how it all comes together. We also discuss Utah which is a place that everyone should experience. It’s a Specialty Spotlight series but its valuable for any medical student, premed or older physicians who want to find something different because they are not fulfilled in what they are currently doing. I also asked Bryant about his lifestyle in the military. He assured me that he is “doing fine on his current pay.” Ad reiterated the truism of living like a resident after residency as a means of finding a stable financial position. That’s wisdom that I was taught as well and it was invaluable.
