Burnout shouldn’t be the norm
BEING A DOCTOR IS HARD ENOUGH
As a practicing physician and certified life coach, I’ve lived through the heartbreak, frustration, and emotional exhaustion that so many doctors quietly carry. Although every story is unique, the pattern has become unmistakable: physicians are not leaving medicine because they’ve stopped caring. They’re leaving because the systemic issues in healthcare have created working conditions that […]
Ever notice how the same stressful patterns keep looping no matter how hard you try to “think positive”?Suddenly, clinic chaos, inbox overload, and EHR alerts seem to script your entire day.Curiously, the fix isn’t more willpower—it’s metacognition, the ability to observe your thoughts while you’re thinking them.Practically speaking, this means you rise above the swirl […]
