So says Dr. Emily Hess, who can't remember a time in her 73 years when she didn't want to be a physician, and who can't imagine what she would do with her time if she were ever to retire from a career in physical and rehabilitation medicine that has taken her from the coal mines of Eastern Kentucky to the directorship of the Department of Rehabilitation at Good Samaritan Hospital.
One of eight women to graduate from the University of Medicine in 1943.
