There are plenty of doctors who are not Christian or atheist. Some of them manage to be happy even without the help of Jesus.

Work is part of life, not all of life. The same could be said of religion as well.

My advice to unfulfilled, unhappy physicians these days is to quote President Harry S. Truman:

"If you want a friend in Washington, buy a dog."

Don't expect any love from your work. If the lawyers don't rob you of everything, there are certainly enough corrupt Washington politicians getting ready to steal everything else from your practice.

The paradigm shift came the day the first “Dear Provider” letter came in my mailbox. On that day, medicine as a profession ceased to be.

Yes, too bad about the polemic. But recall that this is the same Dr. leap who put forth this article of faith: that specialists should come to the ER promptly and without complain and without compensation to take care of his patients- because WE should have faith that somehow, miraculously the money would follow.

You didn’t warn us that a few paragraphs down it was going to turn into a pile of blathering Christian polemic.

There are plenty of happy atheists. I’m one of them. And I’m sure more than a few of them are physicians.
