I was pre-med (biophysics) till I discovered that blood made me faint and I
hated organic chemistry :) Then I transferred to public health. Finally
landed in IT while working in public health, so my degree is in Information
Systems but my career initially (and for nearly 10 years) was built around
healthcare and related computing.
