Ever felt like the human connection is missing in healthcare? Join me as I sit down with Dr. Miriam Zylberglait, a physician with a unique perspective on the patient-doctor relationship, and we delve into the nuances of practicing medicine in today's health system. Born and trained in Peru, Dr. Zylberglait offers an intriguing viewpoint on the challenges and opportunities in medicine as we exchange thoughts on the criticality of trust between patients and physicians and the need for transparency and ethics in the system.

From discussing the issue of burnout and exhaustion among healthcare workers to the impact of the system on patient-centered care, we navigate through the complex landscape of modern healthcare. We underscore the need for a paradigm shift towards more humanistic healthcare, questioning who truly benefits from the current system and its ensuing traumatic effects. We also broach the need for the community's advocacy and making the costs of these problems tangible to healthcare administration.

Our conversation extends to the difficult decision of leaving a job within the healthcare system, something that resonates with professionals across different fields. Zylberglait shares her personal journey of making healthier decisions for herself and her family, emphasizing the importance of setting examples for our children and practicing humanism in our work. Finally, we touch on the power of advocacy, emboldening our listeners with Zylberglait mantra - 'This is your life, this is your choice, this is your journey'. So, tune in and feel empowered to take charge of your journey in medicine.

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.
