Episode 114 – Brett, first year medical student at University of Utah School of Medicine

“It’s all about the deep breath.” At 15-years-old, Brett had spinal fusion surgery that he received permission to record. Seeing the footage confirmed his desire to become a doctor. He talks about his surgery experience and what it was like to go back to Children’s Hospital Los Angeles a year later to spend time in the OR with his surgeon and see the same surgery he had been through. He shares what his connection is to Kevin Costner and what it was like to be the youngest “jacketed member” of the Ski patrol. Finally, we talk about how he ended up at the U for undergrad and became “Swoop”.
