I am a family practice physician. I would have preferred something more solitary like radiology but divorce took me in the direction of general practice--I had a family to support and a dead beat ex-husband. Although it took a great deal of effort over many years, I can actually appear personable and friendly and I find the diversity pleasant. I prefer a secure job that does not consume my life as I like to research so many different subjects--personality types being one of them. I like having breaks between patients and working as part time as I can afford. I am an INTP; enneagram 5w6. I am a family practice physician.
