On this episode, I sat down  again and had a chat with Dr. Haidar Al-Hakim [The ThirdEyeDoc], who is an Ophthalmologist, psychotherapist, author, and host of the Surgical Spirit Podcast.  He previously had discussed his personal experience with burnout in a previous episode, and mentioned his interest in the spiritual side, and at that point I knew I had to bring him back for another round of discussion!
-Spirituality, well we are all spiritual beings.
-By looking into/tapping into this nature, one can understand "What it's like to sacrifice, etc."
-One can bring to light more of the authentic self, which can help to break down barriers and improve connection/communication with patients.
-A system does not define who you are as a person, YOU define who you are.

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.
