RETIRING? WHAT ABOUT OUR WARTS AND TOENAIL FUNGI?
Bill:
Your decision to retire from a regular schedule of doctoring is perfect timing now that your family is growing and your fame as a musician, poet, and environmental whistle-blower is spreading! You have so much to look forward to: the next Blackley-Jackson generation to play with and teach and new skills to explore, perfect, and share.
It is no wonder you have been loved by your patients over these many years. You are so approachable, caring, and “human”. No starchy, impersonal, clinical divide between you and those you take care of. Along these lines, my favorite story is the “Aflac” tale -- only you could dream this strategy up for breaking down barriers!
Practicing Family Medicine is probably impossible to retire from entirely, especially when you have such a large, extended family related by blood and friendship. We hope you’ll “keep your hand in” so that we can continue to discuss, at the very least, our warts and toenail fungi! And if we are lucky, the questions we should be asking our doctors.
All my love and best wishes for the future.
