Stumbled upon your blog via listening to your interview on the MadFIentist podcast. I am a 30-something, un-free doctor and a lot of what you said in the podcast rang true to me. I am looking forward to reading your blog and hopefully being inspired to make changes (work primarily, feel less of a “slave” to the hospital), reduce negatives and gain freedom. I appreciate you sharing what you have learned.

Thank you!

It’s so easy to not do something. There are so many great things I’ve done that only happened in my imagination!

I think you should start blogging if that is something you have been thinking about. It’s creating art, and we all need that. Doesn’t matter it it’s photography, painting, music, writing, etc. It’s good for our psyche and someone out there needs to hear what you have to say.

When you start your blog check back in here and let me know so I can check it out 🙂

Just read a couple of posts and go you, some nicely articulated thoughts and ideas. I also love that Victor Frankl book, I read it a couple of years back but you just reminded me i definitely needs a re-read. The first post you wrote about not knowing when to start – I completely agree – I have wanted to sart a blog for ages and haven’t done so yet…I am feeling strangely inspired though, so thanks! And good luck.
