Thank you for sharing your story with us and welcome to DEV.TO! I also came from the medical world, I had actually left my original studies in Computer Science to become an Emergency Medical Technician after my best friend died of an intentional overdose. Somedays I really miss that world, but it was also clear I could not support myself financially/mentally/emotionally working that job.

Is there anything specific you hope to get out of this site? Looking back, I started coming to this site for the high quality technical content, but what kept me coming back and ultimately ended up feeling more satisfying was the sense of community. I've met some very cool people from all over the world and had the opportunity to share ideas and life experiences, I hope you find the community just as welcoming and inspiring!
