Medical texts are continuously updated to teach the most recent "best practice" knowledge, so a five year old text may lead you down the wrong path.

I have done a similar thing twice, but not on as grand a scale. One thing that drew me to your blog years ago was the same thing in which I have always found comfort in. Music. Not much I can add to all the others comments, but since I am in my mid 60s all I can say is that life is short. Keep seeking the things that make you happiest. Promise I'll check back more often.

Your time at medical school reminded me of the privilege it was to be part of something so special. There is a tendency amongst doctors to feel they have failed if it doesn't all go to plan but the reality is that you wouldn't have made it this far if you weren't able to keep going and the truth is that you have simply reached a different part of your life where your earlier dreams and ambitions are just not as relevant. I definitely think the most successful doctors are the ones who get the work life balance correct. As mentioned by Stephen Covey - nobody ever on their deathbed laments not getting to spend one more day in the office. You have a huge amount of experience on your way to ultimate mastery and most of them can be made relevant to whatever area you chose to go into. It will never have been for nothing you just need the right plan. You will know you have the right plan because you will be happy again like you were in Ireland. You have the insight and skills to figure this out so the future is bright and that discovery is near. Please don't look back cynically at your time in med school or when you finished. If you can't be optimistic then when can you be? And if you have been optimistic before you know you can be again. You just need to recharge (and we all do from time to time - I schedule at least a week every year for some navel gaziing and I know I'm not the only one of my colleagues to do this). Medicine doesn't define you but it is and always will be a part of you - My heartfelt best wishes and good luck with your decisions.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17340509202067331699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3138625163039637769.post-51203722365182595262017-11-10T20:36:16.745-06:002017-11-10T20:36:16.745-06:00Enlightened youngsters like your self have so much...Enlightened youngsters like your self have so much more wisdom than doctors and nurses from my generation.

Yes, that was a big push for me - always wondering 'what if'. But, I realize now that medicine is just like everything else, there are good things and awful things about it. The main thing I hate is that medicine crushes so many aspects of your life into the ground whereas I felt nursing enabled me to have an amazing life (traveling to so many amazing places and working casually allowing me to work as much or as little as I wanted). A big part of it for me was also ego, I can see that more clearly hahah, and one should never make a life decision based on that motivation. ;-)<br /><br />Albinoblackbearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15222730484450544498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3138625163039637769.post-23441060813077009822017-10-25T07:59:32.417-06:002017-10-25T07:59:32.417-06:00@Just Me Absolutely agree.

I Nursing school was a nightmare, I came so close to dropping out in year three due to a completely sociopathic prof. It is such a tough degree - in many ways I found my BScN harder than my MD. <br />I started out in the ER and remember those first six months very clearly - I was also in a panic most days and couldn't sleep the night before ANY of my shifts.<br />Of course our struggles are the same ! We both worked hard and ended up in jobs that didn't work for us and we struggled with the decision to leave. I'm glad you found a better fit for yourself - that is one of the fantastic things about nursing - there are so many options to change your practice and try different areas!

And after doing a residency in a Level 1 Trauma ED I wound up landing a new grad residency in the same unit. I was so ecstatic, I felt like my dreams were finally being realized. But the realities of being an RN in the unit vs being a student were harsh, and working nights were not kind to me. It was 6 months of insane insomnia, anxiety, and every day trying to remind myself, "this is my dream job" before I decided I had had enough, and it was okay for ER nursing to not be for me. Since quitting I've found something way more my speed, and I 100% feel like I have gotten my life back. I still fight with feelings of shame for quitting this highly desired specialty, but when I look at my quality of life now versus then its all worth it. Definitely not trying to say our struggles our the same, only that I recognize a bit of that feeling, and thank you for writing about it, it makes me feel less alone and crazy! <3rakalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02543903559157845841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3138625163039637769.post-39649875614671818722017-10-12T07:42:42.570-06:002017-10-12T07:42:42.570-06:00I am proud of you for recognizing that you didn...I am proud of you for recognizing that you didn't want to do "this" and stepping away from it.
