What happens when the hospital corridors you once walked with passion turn into a maze of burnout? Dr. Maha Mohammad, a rheumatology fellow, joins us in this insightful conversation, shedding light on the rising rates of burnout among healthcare professionals. She takes us on a journey, exploring the challenges that our doctors, nurses, and healthcare providers face in their daily practice. Get ready for a critical dialogue about the takeover of hospitals by venture capitalists, and a system that seems to prioritize profit over care.

The journey of becoming a physician isn't easy, and neither is fighting burnout. We dig deep into the different paths one can take to don the white coat, along with the long hours and immense pressure that often follow. Dr. Mohammad shares invaluable advice on how to maintain a work-life balance during residency and fellowship, emphasizing the importance of sleep, diet, and exercise. It’s not all about work; we also address the need to set boundaries, avoid the trap of perfection, and focus on quality patient care. This episode is a beacon, a call to self-care, and a manifesto for the restoration of passion in medicine.

Though I am a physician, this is not medical advice. This is only a tool that physicians can use to get ideas on how to deal with burnout and/or know they are not alone. If you are in need of medical assistance talk to your physician.
