I would argue that if that happens, you just change what you do. Essentially, do what you love to do while you love doing it and when it doesn't interest you and you have no passion for it anymore, then stop doing it and start doing what you love again.

This is a tough one. I've tried following this path before and I know many, many people who have tried to follow the "I'll make lots of money first and then do what I love." path and I've never seen it work out long term.
Temporarily, it's easy to make lots of money doing anything...even stuff we despise... but to build long lasting abundance that never stops flowing in, I think you need to follow your passion.

Eg a doctor who helps many people get well, but actually hates practicing medicine, and likes cooking

I would never want to be treated by such a doctor. If a doctor enjoys cooking more than healing, I would definitely hope that he would have enough courage to quit his job and become a cook. I believe that a doctors role should be to fully participate in the healing process of a patient, and not to just go through the motions like an android. If my doctor didn't have a passion for healing people, I would not want him advising me on health in any way.
