I would like to know what are some of the reasons people become physician scientists. All of your opinions and/or personal experiences are appreciated. Specifically what could I do with a PhD in say biochemistry and an MD?

if possible it would be more useful to find one in real life, one whose career you want to model yours after and schedule an office visit or grab a meal (it really helped me). otherwise, the forum already contains plenty of personal stories in other threads.

Is that a complement or an insult? Why am I being shot down for asking peoples experiences?
