Dr. John S. Kitchin, M.D., a seasoned and accomplished neurologist with a background in psychiatry, has embarked on a remarkable journey of self-discovery, leaving behind a thriving career in San Diego to pursue a new path. Prior to this transformation, Dr. Kitchin had earned his undergraduate degree from the esteemed Duke University, followed by a stint at Emory University, where he acquired his medical degree.
However, despite his initial success as a neurologist, Dr. Kitchin found himself feeling unfulfilled and restless, leading him to abandon his prosperous career and relocate to San Diego. It was here that he adopted the alias "Slomo," a persona that allowed him to rediscover himself and find a new sense of purpose.
As Slomo, Dr. Kitchin has become a familiar figure on the local boardwalk, where he can often be seen rollerblading, albeit at a pace that is decidedly slower than usual. This unique approach to life has not only brought him a sense of joy and contentment but has also attracted the attention of documentary filmmakers, who have crafted a 2018 film centered around his extraordinary story.
