As a fellow physician, I understand that you want trust and respect for your skills and expertise. And in order to get that, you need the authority and autonomy to exercise your professional judgment. Unfortunately, I know first hand that the medical system is so broken that burnout, depression, and suicide are way too common. The system is destroying the people who are responsible for the health of our family and loved ones. And the problem is so big that we feel helpless to bring about the changes that are required. I’ve been there and almost lost decades of training and experience – and even my own life, because I responded as a human being rather than meeting the impossible demand for perfection that physicians are expected to model. I want to help you keep your dignity, autonomy, and humanity while you serve in the medical profession. It starts with identifying your people, since you cannot do this alone. Then we establish your lifeline before you need it. Finally, helping you nurture a sense of humor to combat the absurdity all around you. I look forward to supporting your organization.
