Docoday

As a Doctor of Emergency Medicine I was constantly frustrated by the modern practice of medicine. Our system focuses on treating the symptom and not the root cause. This was in conflict with my midwest ethics and my oath to "first do not harm". Healing and preventative health does not come from 15 minute doctor’s visits and prescriptions. It comes from education and making changes within.

I masked my inner frustration with my career choice. I bought cars I didn’t need, houses that were too big, and exotic vacations. A cycle of consumerism and work to keep me numb. I felt trapped, even though that was not true.
