Winding Down, Facing Up: Insights Gained on the Road to Retirement

Winding Down, Facing Up: Insights Gained on the Road to Retirement, published on February 16, 2020, addresses issues raised in experiencing burnout, leaving a medical practice, and finding another calling. A message of hope and of redirection of professional energy (in my case toward writing), suggests that dark moods can be a temporary state that can be addressed and overcome. Writing has given me a new purpose and source of pride, things I needed going forward after leaving medical practice.
