My Journey of Treating Heart Attacks? When will it End?

Yesterday was another brutal day - 5 heart attacks, scattered throughout the day and night. All procedures performed at a frantic pace. The common denominator - skillful, high-speed driving to the hospital (not from it).
For years, I have maintained that the PROCESS of treating a heart attack is more difficult than the PROCEDURE.
The process, of course, includes very skilled driving, that introduces the risk of an accident.
So, after 26 years of a Heart Attack only practice, where I personally treated more than 3,500 patients, I believe I finally know when I will quit!
It would be when I do not trust my driving!
When reflexes will struggle navigating traffic, not a guide wire steered across a coronary blockage. I think that would be the time to quit.
And I pray that I have the sanity to recognize that moment.

Brilliant analysis. Very astute. England did fantastic and will probably continue to do so during the entire series. Contrary to what Dhoni said, it is very short series, in particular, if you consider that the same sloppiness will get India 0-2 by this time next week. There appears another sad development in Indian cricket - hiding injuries! With so much incentives and millions of dollars at stake, several play
