Wow! That was weird. As always, I am writing this many weeks before you will see it, and this is the first time I wrote “2023.”
When I was a younger doctor, I will admit that I kinda internally rolled my eyes when my older patients said how quickly time passes as you age. Usually in the context of, “Didn’t I just see you last month?” at the beginning of our annual visit. As with so many other things, those patients who were 20 or 30 or even 50+ years older than I was were right, and their wisdom guides me to this day.
But it is still super weird to be writing “2023”
