Why Dr. Michaelson Became a Dentist

What he found, however, was that it was not as simple as he thought! This realization gave him a deeper understanding and appreciation of the hard work his father put in. This allowed them to grow even closer before he passed away. Today, Dr. Michaelson could not imagine working in any other profession.
