The Moment I Realised Medicine WASN’T the problem..
.. it was the answer!
I thought I’d fallen out of love with medicine.
Then I went to work in South Africa 🇿🇦…and everything changed.
Different systems. Different problems.
Raw, urgent, real. I loved it.
The medicine was never the issue.
What I’d fallen out of love with was the box.
The predictable path.
The feeling my entire career had been mapped out before I’d even started.
Service doesn’t require self-erasure.
You can help people AND build something of your own.
You can use your clinical brain AND think commercially.
You can make a difference AND make decisions about your own life.
The doctors who make the most successful transitions aren’t running from medicine.
They’re running toward a vision of impact that’s actually theirs.
They’ve always had ideas brewing.
They look at broken systems and think “I could fix that.”
They feel a pull toward building, creating, leading—not just following protocols someone else wrote.
If that’s you:
The DII Power is our most intensive experience for doctors ready to accelerate their DREAM paid expert non-clinical consultancy in healthtech, pharma, longevity, coaching and more.
This starts Jan 2026
Spaces are limited.
Warm wishes

PS - That restless feeling isn’t a flaw.
It’s information.
You were built for something that doesn’t exist yet… something only YOU can create.
