Anchorage Daily News
By JOHN HALL
Yesterday I retired. That's right, as of midnight last night and after thirty years I am no longer a partner in Alaska Emergency Medicine Associates. I walked out of the Providence Hospital Emergency Department for the last time. No more chest pains, sore throats, pneumonias, blood clots, appendicitis or gall bladder pain. No more lacerations, broken bones, runny noses or gun shot wounds. No more migraine headaches, dislocated shoulders, gout attacks or beads stuck in little boys' noses.
I am retired. Right now I am sitting here at the kitchen table with the bottoms of my trousers rolled, measuring out my life with cups of coffee and getting ready to pick up the phone to call my youngest daughter and ask, "What do I do now?"
