Very brave for sharing. I'm a practicing MD, so I've made it through. but this is definitely all the truth. My college classmate who went into medicine unfortunately lost her life through suicide during residency.
I'm so sorry for your loss. I enjoyed collaborating to create this Q&A. I agree with Dr. Wible down below, none of this is meant to take away the amazing nobility of this profession and how massively rewarding this can be. Nor is this meant to point fingers at anyone or organization. This is simply to open the discussion, pave the pathway to a better environment for future generations. I strongly believe healthcare functions at its best when clinical professionals are able to work at the highest level they are properly credentialed for + when healthy, empathetic, encouraging work environments are being promoted + everybody's job (from the CEO to the janitor at the hospital) is being respected. Healthcare is a team effort, and we are all there to serve at the best interests of the patients. Right now this simply cannot be sustained in the long run imo-and all data and trends point that way. Thanks for sharing your experiences doc- stay healthy and well.
Awwww please do reach out to me here if you'd like to talk or need more resources. Got a ton of free stuff on my website (including a free med student retreat in January). join us. 💕 www.idealmedicalcare.org/contact/
Pam, I have been following you for several years now. Okay future of medicine is poor, that's settled. I just cannot understand where else to nudge my kids into? I mean what other profession? Being a second generation physician...I do not know of any other field where I can mentor my kids.
Medicine can still an AWESOME profession . . . we just need to practice with autonomy and in alignment with our highest values. Private practice is the way to go! Reach out if you need help . . . or inspiration . . .
