In honor of Suicide Awareness Month, we're going to be talking with Dr. Hawkins about burnout and the increased amount of suicide amongst doctors. Doctors have the highest rate of suicide among all professions. How did we as a society get to this point? Who is taking care of Doctors while they take care of us? Physician Suicide is an epidemic impacting frontline Doctors.
