0

It was one of those days when I hadn’t shot anything and felt kind of bummed about it. For some reason I decided to walk past my house, just to see what would happen, and there was Dafna, standing on a really pretty corner that I’ve always wanted to use in a photograph. Lucky me.

Where are you from?

I’m from Tel Aviv.

What are you doing in New York?

I’m here visiting some friends, and I’m here to do an exam to get my medical license in the States. It was postponed because of the hurricane, so I’m waiting for an email about a new date.

So, are you a doctor?

I am. When I go back to Israel I’ll start my residency in child and adolescent psychology.

Wow. That’s heavy. Why that?

(Laughs.) It’s interesting.

When did you realize you wanted to be a doctor?

In my twenties. I didn’t know what to study. I started law school and then I discovered that it’s nice, but it’s not really me, that I wanted to do something that was meaningful.

And why psychiatry, because that’s tricky.

It’s where the mind and the body meet.

And why child and adolescent psychology in particular?

At a young age people are more dynamic, so you can work with them, see better results, and really improve their lives. It’s a great opportunity to improve and affect a life. You can do a lot of things. It’s amazing.

What’s your favorite thing about what you do?

The fact that there is a variety of stuff that you can do, helping people, meeting new people.

What was the hardest thing about medical school?

Medical school, but the hardest thing about being a doctor is the night shift.

What advice would you give someone who was trying to decide whether to pursue a career in medicine?

It’s a very complex profession. You need to really think about all the upsides and downsides and be sure that it fits you.

If you had a life philosophy what would it be?

That I don’t have a life philosophy!
