Physician burnout is a silent epidemic…..
One’s struggles may not be physically visible to others…..
Or even to ourselves….
That does not mean they do not exist….
They are very real….
The sadness…
The constant dread….
The constant suffering…
We are so in tune to others’ sufferings…
That we rarely notice our own….
Our patients’ suffering is so real…
So profound…
An so tangible….
That our own suffering…
Seems trivial in comparison….
We trivialize and minimize….
Our suffering…
Till…
One day…
The dam breaks…..
And we become the patient……
Then…
We can no longer ignore our own suffering….
Why wait for the breakdown….
To create the breakthrough….
Learn how to address your own suffering…
Your own burnout…
While you care for your patients…
Learn to do both….
At the same time…
