The View from Outside
Abstract
More than a decade ago I retired from the active practice of medicine. I’d spent 26 years in solo private practice, then 10 as a professor at a well-known teaching medical center. Before that came 4 years in medical school, 4 years in specialty training, and almost 3 years as a medical officer in the US Air Force. Medicine had been my life for almost half a century. And now it wasn’t. Talk about culture shock!This content is limited to qualifying members.
