As physicians, we often put the needs of our patients before our own. But it's important to remember that we are human beings too and sometimes we need to reach out for care. My passion for the well-being of physicians stems from my belief that when physicians are at their best, patients receive the best care.
Burnout is a real issue in the medical field, and it's important for us to take care of ourselves so that we can continue to provide top-notch care to our patients. It's not just about being physically healthy, but also taking care of our mental and emotional well-being.
So let's break the stigma and start talking openly about self-care and the importance of taking care of ourselves as physicians. We can't pour from an empty cup; let's make sure we're refilling our own so we can better serve our patients.
