In this episode, Hayeem Rudy walks us through the steps necessary to become a medical doctor and explains why he chose to specialize in plastic surgery. He tells us about some really cool surgeries that he's worked on and breaks the Grey's Anatomy stereotype of what a plastic surgeon truly does.
"I can’t tell you how many times people have asked me why I chose plastic surgery if it’s just cosmetic surgery. It’s because plastics is such a broad field and the only surgical discipline based on principles. We use these principles and techniques to reattached fingers, reconstruct massive defects from tumor resections, repair gunshot wounds, reattach ears and noses that have been chewed off by dogs etc. It's SO much more than just breasts and butts." -Hayeem Rudy
