🍁 As regards accepting Retirement from Professional Work, Doctors are a different breed , because usually they are never contended with the quantum of patients they might have treated in their lifetime. They often tend to envy those colleagues who are getting four times the work.

🍁 Having done their professional work for almost 3 – 4 decades, going to the clinic becomes a default habit , which all doctors and their families have happily embraced. One can call it an addiction of sorts . Being in a noble profession is another justification that is quoted . Patient Families also demand their presence, in times of need
