A PLAYBOY Bunny and Certified Cardiographic Technician has shared the perils behind being beautiful in the medical field.

Though Danielle Lupo has been working in medicine for more than 10 years, some people still don't take her seriously.

Lupo explained that she was drawn to health care by very startling circumstances.

"I got into a bad car accident and that inspired me to pursue health care, being in the hospital and meeting all kinds of different doctors and nurses who wanted to help others," she told Fox News.

Initially, Lupo was a dental assistant but she switched gears to cardiology, where she was working at the time of the interview.

As a cardiographic technician, Lupo measures heart electricity and monitors the functions of the crucial organ.

"It allows us to assist physicians to diagnose and treat cardiac diseases and find out what causes certain heart problems," she said of the important profession.

"It's amazing what our bodies are capable of and we want to ensure patients are on a healthy path."

Lupo is also a Doctoral Student, according to her Instagram bio.

She previously said that she was in the process of applying to med schools to pursue a doctorate degree.

While she is already quite seasoned in her decade-long medical path, modeling for Playboy is something she took up in the last five years.

First, she shot with a photographer who was working with international Playboy in 2017.

After several features in the magazine all over the world, she made a lot of friends through her experience.

"It was always a dream of mine," she said, adding that from the first photoshoot she was "comfortable in my body, comfortable in my own skin."

"We shot at a mountain lodge in Vermont, and they were the most beautiful photos I've ever seen of myself," she said.

In addition to posing for the spreads, Lupo has also worked at the notorious Playboy Club.

She said that one particular visitor to the club expected her to be more on the bubbly and more on the ditzy side.

He was shocked to find out that she was pursuing the medical profession.

"People always underestimate me and never expect that I'm in the medical world," she told Fox News.

"Like how can a Playboy Bunny in health care be taken seriously? I think it's refreshing."

Still, Lupo isn't barging into work looking like she just came from a Playboy shoot.

"I keep things super professional," she said.

"I don't wear my makeup to work. I wear my glasses. I definitely have that Clark Kent thing going on. But I let my work speak for itself."

As for the critics who say such a hobby would be a distraction from her work, Lupo wouldn't be afraid to tell them straight up.

"I would tell them to mind their business — in a nice way, of course," she said.

"I don't think there's anything wrong with having hobbies, even if it's modeling.

"I know there are people who are not comfortable with Playboy and all that it entails, but they're totally free to think that way and to have their own opinions.

She added: "But I do try to keep things very tasteful.
