IIRC @dancing james has a good escape story.
Have you tried doing what you do...but somewhere very different? Being a doctor there is demand for your services pretty much everywhere, right?

I'm getting tired of professional life. I have quite a high status career as a doctor, where I get the satisfaction of helping people every day but the stress has been destroying my health and general wellbeing for 5 years.
I think the guilt of leaving a noble and charitable profession is what has kept me doing it for so long but I am utterly unhappy. I've tried everything, taking beach holidays, switching specialties, "sticking in there" and I can't shake the almost constant feeling I need to leave.
I've worked with bikes before. Summer jobs in local bike shops doing the selling and fixing and running creative campaigns for events, riding around the city sorting various tasks out and getting involved with cycling culture really got my spirits up.
Is there anyone out there who has previously been in a similar position and broke free? What did you do and are you happier for it?
