Deep dives
The Journey to Medicine
Dr. Will Kirby's journey into medicine was unconventional, as he initially fell into the field rather than pursuing it from the start. His passion for science led him to medical school, but he almost veered off completely after matching with a residency in radiation oncology, which he found too morbid. Instead of pursuing this path, he decided to venture into reality TV, eventually becoming a contestant on Big Brother, where he won a substantial cash prize. This unexpected turn provided him with both fame and financial resources, although it also sparked an inner quest for fulfillment beyond monetary success.
