Smooth Operator

Dear Smoke,
I always wanted to be a surgeon, but I passed on it and became a drummer in a Death Metal band for the past ten years.  I don’t want this lifestyle any longer and would like to finish school.  The problem is, after years of abusive behavior and constantly drumming, my hands have become shaky.  Should I go back to school to become a surgeon?

Hey Tommy,
As much as it would be fun to encourage your delusional quest, the irony of doing so, then having you do my next surgery, is too big a risk for me to take!  Ten years of head banging and drumming in a band is nothing to shake a stick at (see what I did there?) be proud and stick (again huh?) with what you are already good at…drumming!  The grass is never greener, no doy.
