Dr. Diane Shannon, MD, MPH is a trailblazer with regard to physician burnout. When she saw that the system did not allow [due to many pitfalls] her to deliver patient care like she had envisioned, she changed her narrative.  She is an author, speaker, and professional coach with a plethora of experience.

Burnout can feel isolating.  As physicians, we don’t discuss how we feel may be because it shows vulnerability, which we [as physicians] are taught not to show.  We are trained not to ask for help or it is a sign of weakness, failure.

 Dr. Shannon had the courage to tell her story, and by doing so, it led her to all the great work she has done!

Topics discussed in this episode:

·       The key driver for burnout is the system not the individual

·       The difference between self-doubt and imposter syndrome.

·       How the above can show up in men versus women.

·       Productive time versus enriching and non-enriching non-productive time and              the difference between them.

·       The history of residency.

·       You have to be a full person.

·       There is hope.

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.
