My pdoc of 20 years is retiring soon. It's tough to try to adjust to the news. I feel like I will never find a pdoc like him... ever again. I don't know if that's true, of course. 20 years is a long time! I can accept the fact that I will probably never be so close to any pdoc again.
It's a big adjustment! I wish you the best in finding a new pdoc!
