Retire Psychiatrist!

Jim Amos Retired29 Jun 2020
Go retire!

“Retire, even if you are not retired…”

Read original article by H. Steven Moffic, MD“Retire, even if you are not retired. Take enough time off periodically, and completely, with no connections to work, so that you can feel emotionally free from concerns about patients and practice.”—H. Steven Moffic, MD.

In other words, Go Retire Psychiatrist.

 

“It is wise to direct your anger toward problems–not people; to focus your energies on answers–not excuses.”–William Arthur Ward.
