Hey, Sonnet,
Congrats on your decision! From how you respond on the board,I know
you'll be a great doctor. You could go into endocrinology and
specialize in PCOS treatment...
I don't know where you're at in your schooling, but I bet there's a
class or two you could take right now that could go towards your degree.
Check out your local universities.
Good luck!
Cassandra
