Medicine Vs. Law With a father who is an Oakland County Probate Court judge and a sis- ter who sits on the bench in Oakland County Circuit Court, it would be natural to think that Grant would have enrolled in law school instead of Wayne State University's School of Medicine in Detroit. "I wanted a profession where I didn't have to wear a tie every day," Grant says with a laugh. "No really, in all sincerity, I like the one-on-one contact with our patients and I like helping someone on the road to recovery and better health!' After putting in up to 16-hour days at Beaumont, Grant divides his time between his family and professional organizations. He and his wife Lisa, who is a Beaumont physical medicine and rehabilitation doctor, have two children, Brendan and Alexandra. Grant recently completed a three-year term as chair of the Michigan Board of Medicine, which governs the practice of medicine in the state. In addition, he is an officer of the American Society of Anesthesiologists and vice-chair of the board of directors of the Michigan State Medical Society.
