Hey, thanks for sharing your story. Going to the doctor is a stressful experience for me too, knowing my health is on the line. But your story makes me realize that the doctor could also be having a difficult experience and needs compassion.

I like how you went from medical into programming/big data. We need more people with diverse backgrounds in tech. That insider perspective of a specific industry is very helpful when it comes to solving problems that people working solely in software cannot understand or appreciate.

I think you'll do really well in your new career, including financially. And even though it might seem like you didn't live up to your expectations, I guarantee that one day you'll look back, and you'll realize that the path you followed was perfect and unfolded exactly as it needed.
