This post is exactly why physicians are burning out and quitting. I’ve spent 30 years as an anesthesiologist, studying and training, getting up at 4am daily, being at my best for my patients. And random people decide they know more about my job than I do, and call us frauds. Peachy.

how do we alter course, and return to empathy, kindness and mutualism as operating values of our society? it would be swimming upstream, wouldn't it? We currently are more about material success, gladiatorial victories, and casting off the weak. We need a Deus Ex Machina plot device, STAT.

I want to say something smart and charismatic, but I got nothing. I’m grateful for a new space, though, where we collectively can share medical knowledge, communicate it, and discuss workplace culture and empathy. Oh, and hopefully also glean some good tennis and running news. #MedSky
