Fun Facts
The best advice Dr. Kappa has ever received is “if you love what you do, you won’t work a day in your life.”
Not everyone knows this about Dr. Kappa, but he comes from a family of physicians. His wife, parents, grandmother, older brothers, and sisters-in-law are physicians.
For most of his life, he wanted to be an engineer but was drawn to medicine by the personal relationships developed with peers and patients. “That and the fact I wasn’t very good at physics.”
