I like it here. I’m not saying America, Arizona, or Americans are perfect – far from it. But realistically, there’s no country on Earth that is. I was born here, and I like my practice.
Occasionally, I get letters from companies suggesting I relocate overseas to "doctor-friendly" countries. They claim to offer better salaries, better lifestyles, etc. They also suggest that my patients will follow me for medical tourism.
I have nothing against physicians who move. Some jobs certainly aren’t worth staying for, or there are family reasons, or whatever. But I have no desire to move to a different country.
One of my favorite books is "I Had Trouble in Getting to Solla Sollew" by Dr. Seuss. In it, the hero keeps trying to find a place that has no troubles, only to discover that everywhere he goes has its own set of problems, just different from the previous place. So, at the end, he returns home. He realizes that every place has good and bad, and it’s a question of accepting the bad parts and doing your best to deal with them.
For myself, I’m happy where I am. I have no interest in moving to another country in search of Solla Sollew. Dr. Seuss told me it doesn’t exist, and life has proven him correct.
