Wouldn't do it again if I knew then what I know now. Healthcare is a mess, corporate greed infiltrating and controlling medicine has ruined my passion.
Currently trying to invest in real estate and prop up my hot rod shop. I hope to be out of medicine in 5 years.

My conversation a lot of today has been how the medical field has changed. I have a friend who just called and her Dad had a stroke at the end of July. Both the hospitalist and neuro rehab facility doc agree he would benefit from therapy. The insurance wants to send him to a skilled facility. Denied therapy. He's 61. The hospitalist is doing a peer to peer but told my friend don't get your hopes up. You're smart to find an exit plan. It's just a shame after so many years of education and training that you're ability to practice medicine is ruled by insurances and corporate greed.
