Very true.

After your doctor has put in a long day at the clinic, do you want him spending whatever spare time he may have reading to keep up with the latest research or techniques, or out in his shop making or fixing stuff, especially when he can afford to pay somebody who needs the work to do it?


I want him in his shop, or in the garden growing tasty produce, or at the range shooting, so he can hit his birds or big game, or whatever. The worst docs I've seen are just that. Docs. No concept of life and living. Nothing to decompress. Life has to balance. You can't be the best at anything unless you balance with other things.
