Adam Root, for as far as he could remember, needed to be a physician like his daddy. As a single parent, four children were raised by his father. Root idolized his dad. Root was an excellent student in high school and in medical school. Subsequent to completing his residency, he joined a small private primary care practice in the Boston region.
The practice grew because of Root's essential contribution. After a 10-year period, the practice had grown in excess of 40 professionals. But Root was spending nearly every waking hour dedicated to the practice. He finally reached the stage of "burnout." He understood yet and he had to do something wasn't quite certain what to do. This is the A case in a string of three instances (B case: UV3948 and C case: UV3949).
