In the 10s I finished training and board certifications, got married, got in the black and above financially, and bought an affordable house.

In the 20s maybe have a kid, travel a bunch, leave the military behind, move to one of my preferred areas of the country, make a ton of cash, and become more politically involved.

Take care of patients safely, like I have been trying to do for the next 30 years...

My goal is to get more surgical. The major weakness of my fellowship is that the pain attendings shipped all the permanent SCS implants and pumps off to neurosurgery. Learning surgical skills on my own private practice time is a pain in the rear, but I'm slowly getting there. My second goal is to continue to NOT work any nights or weekends. I am probably putting myself at risk though of more calls if I start doing more of my own implants.

Strive for personal peace. I think I'm almost there.

I no longer have professional or economic goals and wish I had not occupied so much of my time when I was younger toward those ends.

Did you find that it was just too much work for little benefit?
