I'm Doctor Robert Young. I'm an obstetrician gynecologist.
I'm a member of the Sutter Medical Group and I practice at Sutter Amador Hospital
in Amador county.
The most satisfying part of my job, I think, is the connection with the patient.
At the time of delivery is probably one of the most intimate and special
moments in anyone's life
for both of mom and the dad
and being a part of that is a privilege and
it's always been a kick
and I've enjoyed it
I chose Sutter Amador sort of as a combination of things. I was
gravitating toward California, where the weather was nice. I had done my
residency
in the seventies down and San Diego.
And we were looking for a job and Bruce Stigner, the prior CEO
called us up and said "Come on out and look at the hospital" and we did and that was it.
When I was in
medical school, I was actually working toward my Ph.D in neuroanatomy
and I was thinking about going into neurosurgery.
I was working on my
degree
doing research on a cat brain
and at the same day I was doing a presentation for
that curriculum
I delivered my first baby
and so I was faced with this dilemma
you know this academic
cerebral
type specialty verses one that I really
felt emotionally tied to and
I made a decision that day that it was obstetrics that I was interested in
I haven't looked back since
