My description:
Time for a redo on my profile and just cut to the chase! I strive to live a simple, nonmaterialistic, meaningful, and ethical and moral life. Jewish values, which focus on how we treat others, are core to my existence. But one of those values is that we can learn from everyone. Enjoy hiking, being in nature, intelligent discussions, artistic creativity, and dry humor. Somewhat of an introvert and have often been described as thoughtful. Forbearing and placid but a little tendency toward being a worrier. Adventurous but also risk-averse.
I stopped practicing clinical medicine almost 30 years ago because I felt it was no longer possible to do so ethically in the current environment. This is something few people outside the sphere of medicine can understand, because they lack knowledge of both the science and the culture of medicine today. Besides, most people have a psychological need to believe that things are being done in their best interests. Scientific medicine, by the way, can include any modalities, so long as there is at least some good evidence for their effectiveness. Specific therapies don't have to be proven and we don't even have to understand how they work. There is no such thing as "Western medicine" or "conventional medicine." But what's urgently needed is a system in which people view their work as a calling and shed themselves of any self-interest. I've written extensively on the subject.

Seeking:
Someone with shared values, good character traits, and a compatible way of life. Differences are fine and can even be enriching. An ideal relationship is one in which you are thinking about what you can do for the other person, not about what that person can do for you.
