Every individual is different and everyone's experience is different, but we do see over the last decade the literature growing much more thoughtful and mature, which is a fancy way of saying other people are looking for answers and I think there are some.
They include, first of all, a culture of wellness making it possible for physicians to get care and get timely care and making it acceptable for physicians to want that. We see as well that empowerment can be useful. While I am very grateful to be a physician, like others have commented today there are incredible frustrations including some very modern frustrations with regard to electronic medical records and the like. Addressing that sometimes with very simple steps can be useful.
Of course, one can also think about ways of physicians supporting each other just like other health care workers. One thinks about peer support and the like.
What I'm driving at is that while burnout is a very common phenomenon, there are very reasonable steps one can take to address it. The key is to do that, and to move away from the thinking of not so long ago across North America and across the west, which is doctors don't get sick and we don't need to worry about doctors getting sick.
We spent an enormous amount of time today talking about how to get more people in the health care workforce, very reasonable conversations, and they impress upon us the importance of retaining those individuals, and making sure that they work in an effective and efficacious manner as well.
