Hard to believe, this is moving fast. I resigned in July thinking I had a three month notice, but I misremembered the contract, it was a six month notice. The only details I care about are the medical details, everything else somehow seems less important to me. I forget errands on my way home all the time but tell me about a case and I’ll remember everything.
I have two more days of patient service for my current employer. Then I need to take some time to clean out my ridiculous 23 inboxes. Am I the only one who thinks the inboxes are abusive? After that I will transition to full-time with Galileo health. House calls about three days a week, remote work about two days a week. Smaller and sicker patient population, more nimble organization that seems to leverage provider input/effort better. I will continue to write, on my Substack primarily now. The category “progress notes” will be behind a paywall. Everything else will be free. Listen, I’m 70 years old, and I need to make a living into my old age.
But my goal in life, and in my writing, is to always under-promise an over-deliver

A Country Doctor Writes: 
How does a patient get signed up with a healthcare organization such as GALILEO HEALTH. What do I input into an Internet search to find if there’s anything like this in my area of Florida? I wish you all the best! It sounds good for you and also your patient population.
House call practice for Medicare advantage and manage Medicaid is only in a few states, I know New York, North Carolina, South Carolina, and now, Maine. Galileo has telemedicine all across the country, a little bit like Teladoc I guess.
Obviously I have no idea about your finances but for decades you have obvybeen a consummate and dedicated physician and as you certainly have that as a critical part of your self identification it may be difficult to pursue other interests. But the obvious love you also have for your animals and farm shine through. Maybe housecalls in winter might be re- thought.
Perhaps locums in paradise with long periods off ?
I LOVE IT, Be yourself. You were the best doctor I had and have sung your praises for many years as I missed you all these years. Working and caring are what God said we all should do. I retired from the antique shop at the age of 86 and had intended to do Hospice, Spinal Stenosis put a stop to that, along with COVID and mouth ulcers. So, Dr.Dew, I finally admit to being old at 90. You have many good years to share and comfort your flock and I am sure you will be happier in your new choice. sorry, I love your posts. Lynne Findlay
It seems like you changed jobs, not careers. I have always preferred seeing older doctors, I think experience goes a long way. But it may come a time, if I survive, when all available doctors will be younger than me. If you can and enjoy medicine, why not keep working? I’m sure patients will appreciate.
Still doctoring but in a very different way.
