Why I left my dream job in emergency medicine

Loving what you do can sometimes become a challenge when the environment drastically changes.

When I started in emergency medicine, the thrill of caring for patients during their most vulnerable moments was deeply fulfilling.

At Carney, serving the diverse Dorchester neighborhood felt like the perfect fit for my career aspirations.

But over time, resources dwindled and specialist services vanished, making it hard to provide the care I believed in.

Have you ever had to make a tough decision to stay or go in your career?
