@doctorhoeflinger: Don’t wait until it’s too late. Consider slowing down or even retiring while you are younger and still have your health. There is no amount of money or status that can buy back a day once it is gone. Time is our most precious commodity so enjoy it while you can. #LifeAdvice #retirement #lifeistooshort
Congratulations! You deserve it. Enjoy your life ❤️

At 62 you didn't walk away. You earned your rest. It's interesting to see the path away from surgery. Thank you for sharing . Looking forward to seeing your next chapter

You need to preach this to our colleagues. I’m a cardiologist, recently became an attending. I trained during COVID. I saw older attendings, around your age push themselves to care for patients. A number of them died. After training for 10+ years, decades of call, working weekends, looking forward to retirement in a couple years, only to die on a ventilator before they had their chance. You never know what the future holds. Care for patients, do your time, but retire with enough time to still enjoy your family and your life. You made the right choice.

I was a CEO for years. I walked away for the same reasons. Having the time to do the things I want is amazing.
