Goobie’s Leap: Part 1

In partnership with

Hey there,

Remember Goobie? The young neurosurgeon whose YouTube video about leaving medicine went viral? With over 10 million views, his story clearly struck a nerve. As a pain doc who's walked a similar path, I've got some thoughts.

🧠 The Struggle is Real

Goobie's main beef? Realizing his surgeries often didn't make the impact he hoped for. He noticed patients who thrived typically had:

• Healthy lifestyles

• Solid social support

• Effective stress management

Sound familiar? It's a stark reminder of how our healthcare system often falls short. We’re equipped to fix bulging discs, but when it comes to lifestyle issues or complex social factors? The system leaves us hanging.

🚪 The Exit Strategy (or Lack Thereof)

Here's where it gets interesting. Goobie didn't meticulously plan his departure. He hit a wall and knew he had to leave. But he wasn't flying blind:

• Worked for 9 months after deciding to quit

• Saved up a few years' worth of living expenses

• Not enough to retire, but a cushion for his next move

The lesson? Sometimes, the decision to leave is the catalyst you need. It's not ideal, but Goobie shows that even an abrupt exit can open doors if you've got some financial runway.

🔍 The Devil in the Career Details

Remember those warnings about your specialty's downsides? Goobie's experience highlights an important lesson:

• You don't truly understand those warnings until you've lived them

• The reality often differs from what you imagined

For Goobie, "difficult patients" turned out to mean complex life problems he couldn't solve as a neurosurgeon. It wasn't about challenging personalities, but about the limitations of his role.

🤔 What This Means for Your Next Move

If you're eyeing a career change, this insight is gold. Here's how to apply it:

1. Reflect on your current role: How did the warned-about negatives actually play out?

2. Use this lens for future options: Look beyond the surface-level warnings

For example, if you're considering real estate investing:

• Common wisdom: "It's not passive income"

• Your doctor insight: "It might be like being on call – unexpected issues needing quick responses, potentially at any time"

Now ask yourself: How did you handle being on call? Did you absolutely hate it or just not mind it much? This perspective can help you make a more informed decision.

💡 Adapting Your Approach

If you’re thinking real estate, but never want to take call again, you might:

• Explore triple net leases where tenants handle most issues

• Investigate hiring a property management company

• Consider more hands-off approaches to real estate investing such as trusts (REITs)

The key is to figure this out before making the jump, using your unique medical experience as a guide.

🔑 Key Insights for the Restless Doctor

1. Space to Explore: Sometimes, you need to step away to see clearly.

2. Share Your Story: Goobie's authenticity resonated with millions. Your experiences matter.

3. Reassess Your Toolkit: How else could your skills give you an unfair advantage in your new life?

4. Deeper Understanding: Dig into warnings to avoid another career mismatch.
