Ok-

So after much internal debate, turmoil and all sorts of other things I decided to take the job in the town where wife and kids are.

Main thing was my focus on them. I think no matter what this would be the best life for the boys, the best life for me. no hearts... and I am currently ok with that. great hospital, great people, great town.

I really think the job is going to be a great job for me in the end...

and I will be there for the boys.

I agree Brad I hope you did this for you and the boys and not because we said so.

I don't doubt that you will find great joy in being a wonderful father.

And I am sure you will find much fulfillment in helping people with all sorts of medical problems.

Good luck.

Gut instinct tells me that we are right. Time with your kids is going to help you and them in the long run.

I know you are making a huge sacrifice in giving up a dream as a heart surgeon. Touch choice.

Duty, Honor, Country. Those three hallowed words reverently dictate what you ought to be, what you can be, what you will be.

Family time as a father is a large part of Duty.

Strength and Honor - Strong to do the right thing even if it hurts you and Honor to always do the right thing.

Cat, Kerry, OP

I really think you are all right. This is obviously a bit of a sea change for me. I have had to focus on my training for the last 9 years. Now my focus has changed.

Its about them. You all have helped me to see that. I have thought a lot about what you all have said. And I think you all are right.

And Cat I think there is a lot of good I can do up there and a lot of satisfaction I will get out of my new job.

I have had easy decisions up until now in my life and career and everything has worked out for me. its like I had a debt to pay. now I have made a tough decision but I think it will be the best in the end...
