I never denied it. But I never fully accepted it. In the end, this diabetes delusion led me into medical school. And now, finally, into an understanding of who I've always been.

5 min - Can't Live With It, Can't Live Without It
I thought it best to leave medicine behind me. It was just an eight year chapter that I wished to never repeat, right? Two years of time has revealed a surprising opposite: I can't survive without it.

5 min - A 35-Year-Old Completes Adolescence
Just because you leave an adolescent age (and enter medical school... and become a doctor... then become a psychiatrist), doesn't mean adolescence leaves you. Or so I've lived and understood, only now, at 35 years old.
Better late than never.

- Written in the Stars: Psychiatry and Me
When I look back now, it seems I always meant to be a psychiatrist. Out of necessity. If I wanted to open up a door into a future that wasn't just a replication of my past, becoming a shrink was always the skeleton key.

About Fightmaster MD Audio
From the publisher's feed
A weekly treatise on committing to one’s heart instead of hiding inside a career of acclaim, acceptance, and complacency.
In 2022 at 33 years old, I left my career as a doctor, where I could earn $400,000 per year. I owed $200,000 in student loans. I quit because that life was killing me. And it wasn’t medicine’s fault. I have plenty of friends who love medicine, who love taking care of patients. It was my fault; I never wanted to be a doctor. I needed to find out what I wanted. My life was on the line.
Since, I’ve started a furniture company. That was a surprising plot twist. And I write. Every Thursday, I pen an essay aimed at sharing what it took (and what it takes) to own a life I love, and share the audio version here.
