ABSTRACT
Transitioning care of a patient from an outgoing to an incoming physician provides a precious opportunity to transfer knowledge and trust. We explore this process from the perspectives of 2 practitioners, an incoming physician who recently completed training and a retiring physician leaving a practice of 40 years. The method we arrived at for this transfer provided the space for collaboration on what the essence of caring for a unique individual will entail. We discovered that a handoff of care is the intergenerational transfer of culture. It involves worrying and watching and relaxing into hopefulness. It is both witnessing and launching a life's work. It is reliving and inheriting and reinventing relationship.
