During childhood, Dr. Dan Xu saw her grandmother suffer a hemhorraging stroke – a triggering even that caused substantial anxiety during childhood. She spent many hours through her younger years wondering what caused this stroke, and how she could prevent it for other members of her family. Her deep desire to prevent illness others drove her to pursue medicine and aspire to become a physician. While many around her discouraged her, explaining the difficulty in an international Chinese student to become a doctor – Dr. Xu chose to persevere her passion in life. A testament to her dedication and work ethic, not only did Dr. Xu take her MCAT and find herself accepted to Memorial University – she graduated on the Dean’s Honor List. idcosmeticclinic.ca
