Previous thread on it.
In summary, my side business (macrumors.com) became successful enough that it made significantly more than my income as a doctor. Combine that with the lifestyle of being a doctor being bad, and wanting to spend more time with my young kids. It was still a hard decision at the time due to the sunk costs of becoming a doctor but on paper it was an easy decision.
