What do the 5 regrets of the dying have to do with being a physician or locum tenens work? A decade ago, an impactful book was published by a Palliative Nurse who spent 20 years interviewing people in their last days about the regrets they had in life. The 5 most common regrets are: I wish I would have lived a life true to myself and not based on the expectations of others. I wish I hadn't worked so hard. I wish I had the courage to express my feelings. I wish I would have kept up with my friends. I wish I would have let myself be happier. Every day I see more and more people who are unsatisfied with their current path, working 60-100 hours per week, stressed out and losing their passion for medicine because they are being worked to hard. You have a choice and can opt out of the current paradigm but it starts with setting direction. This will be a 2 part episode on how to reverse engineer getting what you want in life. Don't wait until the end and 'wish you would have', instead, be glad that you did but taking the steps you need to right now.
