Interesting thread. I just got a call about a part-time job that I did not solicit. I am interviewing Friday. I am interested because it has health insurance. I think being affable and available are key . Question is do I want it? I need details.
Have you already retired? Or is it coming in the near future?
Maybe contributing something medical to your hospital on a part time basis will balance out your retirement nicely. I think you can still call yourself retired if it is part time work and you are doing it for fun rather than because you need a paycheck.
I am still working a significant number of hours, but more because it is fun rather than because I need to. It was a head rush for me to do recent teaching rounds with a team of residents. I earned tremendous kudos from the team regarding how stimulating and educational it was for them. That gave me a good feeling, like I was making a difference for these young docs.
I have so many things I love to do these days and medicine is still one of those things. The stress has flown out the window now that I only do what I want to do. I think part of it is the frame of mind I am in when I go to work, now that going to work is optional.
