The author, a physician in late middle age reflects on his own medical career, the aging of those who have taught him and also of those whom he has taught. He describes the sense of ennui and déjà vu. The things that seemed important as a younger doctor seem less important. He has adopted a different paradigm and has come to see that both playfulness and integrity are essential ingredients for health. As a sailor, he more keenly appreciates the struggles our patients and colleagues have with illness and draws an analog between sailing and life.
作者是一位接近中年的医生，他反思自己的从医经历，以及教过他的人和他教过的人的衰老。他描述了那种倦怠和似曾相识的感觉。年轻时觉得重要的事情，现在似乎不那么重要了。他采用了一种不同的模式，并逐渐认识到嬉戏和正直都是健康的重要要素。作为一名水手，他更深刻地体会到我们的患者和同事与疾病作斗争的艰辛，并将航海与生活进行了类比。
