It's very important for us to have an identity that's more than just a physician. You have to have other ways to charge up your battery. And I like to tell my clients, “You got to show up at least on a high yellow because you are going to get drained nowadays. Ideally green. So what gets you to green?”
And so it's twofold. It's number one, really taking a look at yourself and getting rid of all the “What will people think? Who will I be if I'm not a clinician? Is there anything else that I can do as an MD?”
Well, yeah, there's tons of stuff that you can do.
