When I decided that I wanted to be a family doctor back in the 1980s, I was unfortunately not very forward thinking. I pictured how great it would be to practice medicine as it was in the 1980s without anticipating all of the changes that would happen in medicine within my lifetime. As I embark on this new chapter in my life, I need to do a much better job predicting what the world will look like another 30 years from now as a foundation for my new set of life goals. Based on all of the information currently available to me, I am considering the option of becoming the American version of “Mad Max”.
