Patrick Sullivan

Patrick Sullivan started his career in emergency medicine and migrated to internal medicine. Before retiring last year, he served as chief of medicine and chief of staff at two hospitals. A lifelong woodworker, he is building an entertainment center and a fireplace surround for his new house in California, but still has not found a permanent home for all his tools. And in case you’re wondering, he does indeed patch up his own injuries at home. His current interests are Craftsman furniture and wood sculpture. Sullivan lives with his wife in Carmel Valley, Calif., in the shade of a large number of live oaks, which he is eyeing for his next project.
