As a result, I lost my self-esteem, family, job, health and nearly my license. I love my children, I like myself. My career continues. Much of my time is devoted to helping other health care professionals who suffer from the same disease that nearly cost me my life. I can honestly say life is good and it just keeps getting better.
Help is available.
I'm practicing internal medicine in Wickenburg. This allowed me to set up statewide programs to treat addicted gamblers. Michele, Mike and twin daughters, Lisa and Lindsey, are all doing well and we continue to raise organic, genetically trimmed beef and sheep on the ranch. Despite the Boston traffic, I continue to love my job in nuclear medicine at Beth Israel Hospital. I am deputy director of the Harvard Joint Program in Nuclear Medicine Residency and president of the New England Chapter of the Society of Nuclear Medicine.
