Agreed. Remember Rhodes scholar Myron Rolle ? 6th rounder from FSU. He put his NFL career on hold and went back to medical school. Fast forward to now, he's a Neurosurgeon resident at Harvard Medical School.

Who knows, Alex could be next. I hope he does well & good for him.

It would be an absolute shame if he became a doctor and the U.S. government then decided to enforce universal health care on us...

Yeah, but most doctors that I know aren't in it for the money. Although, my oncologist said that if he had to do it over again he would have gone into a different field and this was to a man who might die so I believed him. He saved my life and I just imagine what I would have done without him specifically to agree to my aggressive treatments. Probably died.

If we ever get MedBeds, it'll hopefully make oncology surgeries a thing of the past.
