Scott's Story
Life
After graduation, I stumbled through college, got engaged to Teresa, then found myself in med school. I made it through med school, got married to Teresa 1/2 way through, then wound up in the Army in El Paso, TX (Of all places!) for my Pediatrics residency. After residency, my good fortune still holding out, I stumbled onto an opportunity to do a fellowship in Neonatology at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, where I trained with some of the smartest and most highly respected Pediatric subspecialists in the world. After Baylor, with our family tree having grown by one more branch (Our first son, Cameron), it was off to Hawaii to pay back my debt to the Army. (Tough gig!) While in Hawaii, we added another branch to the family tree (Our second son, Connor). I got out of the Army December 31, 1999, and we settled in Maine, where I was director of the NICU and Head of the Neonatology Section at Eastern Maine Medical Center in Bangor. In October of 2002, we moved to our current (and hope...Expand for more
fully final!) home in Eastern Kentucky. I have certainly been blessed with more than average good luck. I can't wait to see what the next twenty years has in store for the Knight clan!
Military
I had the good fortune of beginning my military career during the Bush (I) years, and the bad fortune of finishing it during the Clinton years, which was probably why I got out anyway. I spent a lot of time in Texas and then in Hawaii. I spent a few weeks in Korea, stationed at the DMZ, which was a real eye-opener for me. It made me appreciate the freedom and relative safety that we enjoy here in the U.S. The Korean countryside was quite interesting, though, as were the Korean people. I was overjoyed to get back home, though, especially since my wife was 7 months pregnant when I left. I wouldn't trade my years in the military for anything. Military folks, though sometimes gruff and overly gung-ho for some, are brave, selfless and devoted to their country, and I miss my time in the field with them.
