Parting Thoughts: Emma Rae
In elementary school, I suffered from osteochondritis dissecans and had to have several surgeries. This sparked my interest in the human body and how it operates, so I knew I wanted to pursue some form of health care. At the age of 15, I was diagnosed with a right thoracic idiopathic scoliosis. This experience nearly solidified my interest in chiropractic, and yet the idea of becoming a doctor of osteopathic medicine still intrigued me.
