Over years, however, I have come to realize that I do not want to be the bossy Dr. Obvious who makes you anxiously wait hours in his office until he is finished chatting with his last patient about the upcoming bake sale. I have come to terms with the fact that my childhood dream is not all it was made out to be, and that years of medical school would only pay off if doctoring were really as exciting as shown on the television show ER.

There is no 'proper' way to write a book, for example, but just a 'standard' way everyone uses. This may be thought of as the 'proper' way but rebels will use no periods and have one long paragraph in a 400 page book. Maybe the culture says it is mandatory to have everything in one continuous sentence, while others more civilized or advanced will follow the rules to the very letter.
