: About Me

My name is David Law and I am a 4th year medical student at the University of California, Davis. I'm also an aspiring author with that contrived dream of writing the next "Great American Novel". Some of my writing centers around my experiences as a medical student but the majority of it deals with themes and issues concerning being a 20-something in today's hectic society.

My passion is ...

Music, Medicine, and Writing

I know too much about ...

Celebrity gossip

My childhood ambition ...

I always wanted to be a doctor.

Anything and everything around me. You've gotta find something interesting about every part of your world.
