Radishes : thanks for answering my question. I am sorry that you are not able to pursue your chosen field. You certainly picked one of the most physically taxing fields in all of medicine – general surgery. If I am not mistaken, the only other field of medical studies that is more physical would be orthopedics. I hope that one day you will be able to practice in some field of medicine. I know how difficult it is to have to give up something that you love. I was an RN with a highly successful career who was forced to give up practicing due to health problems, so I certainly can identify with you (at least on some points). BTW, when I read your post on the smoking topic, it sounded to me as if you were a daily smoker. I doubt that the occasional cigar will be much of a problem. If I could smoke just the occasional cigarette, I would be a very happy camper.
