Have you ever been consumed by self-doubt? Did it hold you back professionally?
Carl Allamby spent 20 years fixing cars before realizing his true calling: fixing people. At 47, he became an emergency physician at Cleveland Clinic Hillcrest Hospital.
Allamby had daydreamed of healing people as a child. But for most of his life, being a doctor felt out of reach. He rediscovered a passion for medicine in his 30s, but by then, said he felt “too old” to be a doctor. Instead, Allamby set his sights on becoming a nurse or a physician’s assistant. An unexpected ally later challenges Allamby’s own perception of himself - allowing him to realize his true potential.
“Nothing would have changed if I hadn’t stopped putting limits on myself,” Dr. Allamby says.
