Docs losing control bit by bit is a bummer. but...i would be retiring anyway in 5 months, having started medical school in 1975 i feel like i am ready to see what else the world has to offer. i was OK with a lot of admin decisions, and some of them turned out to be smart ones, and the $$ is good, but it is so irritating to have someone tell me i need to be in my clinic seeing patients 15 minutes after finishing my last case at the hospital. would i retire because i was irritated? i doubt it. i am retiring because i have a huge bucket list, and need the time and health to finish it. and so will the rest of the boomers if they are honest with themselves.
“The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation. What is called resignation is confirmed desperation. From the desperate city you go into the desperate country, and have to console yourself with the bravery of minks and muskrats. A stereotyped but unconscious despair is concealed even under what are called the games and amusements of mankind. There is no play in them, for this comes after work. But it is a characteristic of wisdom not to do desperate things.” HDT
