[music playing]

00:00:05.774 --> 00:00:07.180
My name is Dr. John Scott.

00:00:07.263 --> 00:00:09.327
I've been practicing otolaryngology,

00:00:09.520 --> 00:00:10.734
head and neck surgery,

00:00:10.958 --> 00:00:14.045
along with facial plastic surgery,
for 30 years.

00:00:18.451 --> 00:00:19.226
I love the work.

00:00:20.082 --> 00:00:23.874
People sometimes ask me
if I'm going to retire,

00:00:24.056 --> 00:00:26.998
and it kind of always
catches me off guard

00:00:27.081 --> 00:00:28.416
because I feel like I'm just in

00:00:28.499 --> 00:00:30.708
the best part of
my career right now.

00:00:31.242 --> 00:00:33.749
I've been doing it
for a long enough time

00:00:33.832 --> 00:00:35.921
that I feel super confident

00:00:36.004 --> 00:00:39.085
with my decision making
and my surgical skills.

00:00:39.410 --> 00:00:42.124
I'm able to provide people
great care,

00:00:42.207 --> 00:00:43.982
and they come back to me,
and they're better.

00:00:44.108 --> 00:00:46.336
That’s why
I went into this business,

00:00:46.419 --> 00:00:47.484
is to make people better.

00:00:51.748 --> 00:00:52.999
The past 10 or 15 years,

00:00:53.082 --> 00:00:58.152
I've really gotten into
physical fitness and triathlons.

00:00:58.251 --> 00:01:00.585
The whole triathlon skill set

00:01:00.825 --> 00:01:05.213
really dovetails nicely
with being a physician and a surgeon

00:01:05.296 --> 00:01:09.312
because when you go into
a surgical procedure,

00:01:09.395 --> 00:01:11.727
one of the dictums of surgery is

00:01:12.160 --> 00:01:15.034
you do the operation
three times, right?

00:01:15.117 --> 00:01:17.157
And the same
really applies to triathlons.

00:01:17.240 --> 00:01:19.585
You're training, you prepare,

00:01:19.853 --> 00:01:21.709
you repeat,

00:01:22.085 --> 00:01:23.291
and you become very skilled

00:01:23.374 --> 00:01:27.145
at the segments of
the different operation,

00:01:27.228 --> 00:01:29.280
and then you put it
all together on race day.

00:01:29.377 --> 00:01:33.897
There's something about
being in that zone

00:01:34.482 --> 00:01:37.702
with other people
who are equally intense,

00:01:38.157 --> 00:01:39.890
and it's fun.
It's exciting.
