Why did you pursue a career in neurology?

Throughout medical school there was only one subject that really excited me: neurology. I enjoyed everything from the anatomy to the neuro exam to the patient population - it just felt like everything clicked into place. Neurology is also growing so rapidly and constantly evolving - I think it's very exciting to have the opportunity to be a lifelong learner.
