It took three simple words from her husband — "You can stop" — to help her recognize that leaving medicine was an option.</p><p>But what would she do next?</p><p>Instead of pursuing another degree, Amy took six months to explore possibilities, connect with mentors, and discover the value of skills she already possessed. Today, she's the founder of High Rock Experts and High Rock Academy, connecting attorneys with qualified medical experts and teaching physicians how to succeed in medical-legal consulting.</p><p>In this episode of <i><em>The Second Shift</em></i>, Amy and Bryan explore physician identity, the emotional challenges of career transitions, and why developing interests outside clinical practice may actually protect against burnout.</p><p>Amy believes physicians have superpowers — critical thinking, problem-solving, communication, and relationship-building skills that translate into countless opportunities beyond the exam room.</p><p>They also discuss the practical side of medical expert witness work, including how to get started, earning potential, and why it can be intellectually rewarding even for physicians who continue practicing medicine.</p><p>Amy's story reminds us that changing careers doesn't mean starting over. Your experience isn't wasted. It may be exactly what prepares you for what's next.</p><p>In This Episode</p><p>00:00 – Introduction: A physician's hidden superpowers</p><p>04:32 – Amy's journey into medicine and
