Episode 36: Documentary artist Robyn Symon talks physician burnout
Robyn Symon is an award-winning director and producer whose recent documentary, "Do No Harm: Exposing the Hippocratic Hoax", sheds light on the epidemic of burnout and suicide among physicians.
Robyn has more that 20 years of experience with network TV series, documentary films and web content including PBS, Discovery Health, and HGTV. She began her career as a TV reporter, so we'll certainly delve into another epidemic: the mental health challenges and trauma that journalists face.
Robyn has won two Emmys for her writing and covered topics from self-help giant Werner Erhard to the war on terror in West Africa. Her latest work was particularly personal, as she comes from a line of physicians.
