First you should come up with a good idea, from looking at your initial post it looks like you don't have an actual idea. Than hire programmers or outsource your development work. Without completely quitting your practice.

Just curious, how many years did you spend completing your education? A medical doctor with an electrical engineering degree is quite rare.

I'm toying around with a few ideas, but you're intuition is mostly right. The problem is that I don't know which of them are realistic in terms of programmability (hence my desire to really learn web-dev languages). I've only discovered this site 2 days ago, but I've already read a few posts saying you can't find strong programmers who'll just implement your idea and let you take the credit/bacon, which I can understand.

I went through 4 years of college (majoring in EE), worked 1 year as an EE, switched tracks and went to medical school(4 years), then finished 4 years of residency. I've been out practicing for a bit more than 1 year now. Everyone who wants to go to medical school has to have a college degree in something - mine happens to be in EE! Thanks for your input, much appreciated.
