I’m Ryan Fightmaster, MD. I graduated from medical school, completed residency, and earned my board certification in psychiatry, while never wanting to be a doctor. Why? Because being a doctor was easier than being myself. In the fall of 2022, I left medicine (including my $400K/year job while owing $200K in student loans) to find fulfillment in writing, restoring old furniture, and surfing. Expect a new essay to release every Thursday afternoon. Join my newsletter (https://fightmastermd.com/newsletter) and get first book for free today.

Snoozing is harmless. Everyone snoozes, I thought to myself, when I chose to snooze today. After all, it's only nine minutes.

But nine minutes matters. Ask my throbbing ankle.

I don't always know why I'm doing things. If it feels right, I try to trust the process. But on Monday, after an episode of inverse déjà vu, I knew precisely why I did what I'd done: 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙨.

People ask my wife and I why we moved to Asheville. Often, we haven’t had an explanation other than it felt right. Often, I've thought we’re kinda crazy. But last night, I felt a little less crazy and a little more alive, knowing that there in a shed while picking up furniture I couldn't wait to get to work on, my mountain biking stoke had survived to the other side, alive and well in Asheville.
