#26: Hello Telemedicine, Goodbye ER Night Shifts w/ Dr. Michael Jaffe

Dr. Michael Jaffe is an ER physician who just made the switch to full-time Telemedicine in November of 2020. His recent lifestyle change has opened up a world of flexibility and freedom for him and his wife to travel across the country in a camper van to see family, visit beaches and enjoy new scenery.

In this episode we talk about

• #vanlife
• 25 years of working night shifts without drinking coffee
• How working on a ski patrol in the German Alps as a high-schooler led him to medicine
• Recreating a full-time income by creatively piecing together Telehealth opportunities
• The pros and cons of Telemedicine
• Dance lessons in Argentina
