Step 3 · Editorial composite · Career Transitions

The Retired Doctor

He had delivered thousands of babies, diagnosed thousands of cancers, pronounced thousands of deaths. He thought he was ready to stop. But medicine had become so woven into who he was that retiring felt like losing his identity.

Step 4 · Editorial composite · Unexplained Phenomena
