The Podcast by KevinMD

Finding peace and reclaiming humanity within a broken health care system


Listen Later

Physician wellness coach Jessica Singh discusses the article "Physician burnout: Finding peace in a broken health care system." Jessica shares a powerful narrative of a grueling swing shift in a rural emergency department, managing critical patients and a mounting waiting room with minimal resources. She describes the intense pressure of a life-saving intubation and the spiritual strength she drew upon during the crisis. The conversation shifts to the toxic interpersonal dynamics often found in medical culture, as Jessica recounts a difficult "changing of the guard" with a hostile administrator. This experience led to a profound reckoning with her professional identity and the realization that her value as a human being extends far beyond hospital walls. Discover how perspective, faith, and the simple act of a deep breath can help clinicians navigate the "trance of servitude" and find peace amidst systemic failure.
