You are not defined by your job or how you are performing at work today. You are not defined by your productivity. You are a better person/clinician if you have a life outside of medicine.
I wish I had known this many years ago - balance is peaceful.
Thank you @LizCrowe2 !
Let’s stop just talking about burnout and DO something! You r NOT defined by ur job. Hard hitting truths from @LizCrowe2

It's hard to teach:
1 sense of urgency
2 critical thinking
3 creativity
4 customer empathy
5 team commitment
6 humility
7 unselfish giving
8 judgement
9 grace and dignity
10 positivity
11 optimism
12 bias towards results
13 active listening
Strong leaders teach the hard stuff.

Med student: I was keen on doing Emergency Medicine...but then I did a stint in radiology.
Me: oh, so did you like radiology better?
Med student: No, but they had a low opinion of the ED.
Words matter. Please don’t teach tribalism to our next generation of doctors!
