What I tell patients about retirement – be like the Queen and don’t

When a patient asks what I think about them retiring, I usually say, like the Queen: “Don’t.”
Even if they’re aged 79, I have been known to encourage patients to keep on keeping on, especially when they love their job (or at least most aspects of it).
