Physician burnout IS ALREADY at a crisis level. It’s time to talk and it’s time to DO. No more waiting - make positive changes now. Talk about MH, support & accept each other, pressure your colleges & institutions to create humane conditions. No more #physiciansuicide
Sadly I’m not surprised by these results. It’s not yet safe to disclose anything other than what’s expected/accepted. Punishment for being human by medical community is UNETHICAL. So much for do no harm. #walkyourtalk
You got it exactly right @drgigiosler - now I just hope @CMA_Docs under your leadership will partner with individuals and organizations such as @SafeSpaceHealth to turn your vision into reality :) We are here to help you and aid you in your mission! @NatsforDocs @pattywickson
Running a workshop on self-care & empathy. We're going to unpack 4 concepts (& many other things) that are caused by & perpetuate compromised empathy:
💥Compassion Fatigue
💥Moral injury
💥Vicarious trauma
💥Burnout/existential distress
Then we're going to talk solutions.
This is why @SafeSpaceHealth App is nearly here. There’s only so much we should carry and the rest needs a safe space to let it go. Talking about our pain should be normal, welcomed and validated. It’s time.
Health care needs to be redesigned to promote the wellness of both workers and patients...@SafeSpaceHealth can be the answer to part of the epidemic. @NatsforDocs @AcademicEM
#Burnout doesn’t just effect individuals suffering from it. Perhaps their families suffer more than what we care 2 think ~ Read this gripping short story by @1TrueDayDreamer “Bring Mommy Back” I was left speechless! #MeToo#WomenInMedicine@SafeSpaceHealth https://t.co/lxXkYlSIWT
Opinion: Wellness officers? Code Lavender teams? Mindfulness meditation? These aren't the solutions to physician burnout and moral injury. https://t.co/xfdCriosEZ
Junior leader 2 senior Dr, leader & physician wellness advocate: “We believe U are burned out & medical association has offered 2 fly U 2 US for neuropsych asses’t 2 see what type of organizat’n you could fit in best” - LOL There’s a better solution: ATTEND 2 ORGANIZATIONAL ILLS!
1/2: Sick & tired of hearing suggestions ~ physician-focused interventions 2 reduce burnout/promote wellness. At best, these may serve as symptom(s) management 4 those labelled as suffering from burnout, but it certainly doesn't reverse the true etiology
