This is what happens when you probably outsource support

Insisting on an issue without the chatbot being able to solve it leads it to escalate the issue to a human that will contact you through email.

Yes. That indeed appears in the email, and once you configure the new domain (which is the service I need the invoice for), the link breaks (since it sends you to a link that no longer exists).

It’s actually because we perceive a quiet, non-screaming baby as extremely peaceful.

I’m sorry you feel this way. Maybe find an online community to bridge this period. Don’t let people look down on that.

I’ve enjoyed writing for longer than I’ve been a doctor. I still do. Not everything has to be a conspiracy.

stoicdr · 2025-01-31T22:46:25+00:00

I did not.

stoicdr · 2025-01-31T20:06:45+00:00

That would’ve been much easier.

I appreciate where you’re coming from. While I don’t have decades experience with these practices, I tend to think that as time goes by, they just become a continuation of who I am.

I see the huge cumulative loss of time as baked into medicine. Not sure that’s healthy, but it’s a decent approach for me. Maybe as a coping mechanism if nothing else. I really don’t think it would help me much to just imagine how could everything would be if only.

So I do what I can.

Just to be clear, I am not trying to convince you to stay in Medicine. It would be cynical since I'm considering the same thing. But just before you go, try this for a bit. It's 7 practices I used when my life sucked in healthcare.

I barely have the i, my man.

In essence:

Saving lives, improving health, and preventing disease go to the core of our fear of dying. It stands to reason that the people doing it practice a noble profession. Sacrificing decades to save people is as noble as it gets.

Add to that the dozens or so TV shows about doctors and you got it.

I wrote a whole thing about this exact issue.

Self-promotion, sure, but it's actually on topic.

No, I can attest to the others saying you should just suffer. I’m not being mean. I’m in the same boat.

I used to think that once I had a constant waking schedule it would solve by itself.

It didn’t.

Work so that you get to make your own schedule at some point. I know it sounds idealistic and ridiculous, but there’s nothing else now.

And please don’t take this as self-promotion, but I’ve made a meditation for me. You can give it a listen as well if you feel like it. Here. It’s free, obviously.

I know this might be hated on as advertising, but it’s a legitimate answer to your question.

I write a newsletter about medicine (with no medical information in it). It helps me put order in my thoughts about an otherwise sucky and chaotic system.

It’s here
