It requires the same kind of big-picture thinking, emotional resilience, and long-term outlook that are characteristics of an astute generalist clinician. By understanding these parallels, one can better navigate the uncertain waters of the financial market and increase the chances of achieving our investing goals – it may also help us become better clinicians.
