I remember doing paediatrics years ago. I would be one of two doctors covering the entire hospital at nights and weekends. I worked 36 hours on, 12 off, for 2 months straight because we were short staffed.At the end of a 36 hour shift, I was in the emergency room, trying to write up notes, I hadn’t done any neonatal checks or discharges, and a SHO came in and looked at my face (this is unusual, people just fire questions and complaints at you, but forget you’re a person and don’t even look you in the eye), and just asked “are you ok?” I burst into tears. Proper, inconsolable ugly crying. She called our consultant, and he actually came in ON THE WEEKEND to help. Apparently they were all amazed I hadn’t broken sooner. Which begs the question, why wasn’t I offered help sooner? I quit paediatrics within a year. loved the specialty, but it was killing me.

I know this feeling all too well. It first starts rather benign, getting up from bed becomes more and more difficult, a sense of looming dread every time you walk into the hospital, feeling pure envy towards the patients that are admitted because they get to lay in bed all day, and it stays like that for a few months. Then it progresses to specific ideations, "if I crash my car into this curb right now at full speed maybe I'll get hurt enough that I don't have to go to work today" "This knife I am using to cut the tomatoes, if I just stab it into my thigh all the way to the hilt maybe I'll get a sick leave to stay home for a few days so I can sleep for a bit". Then it goes one of three ways, you either just snap out of it one day which is highly unlikely but does happen usually following an extended vacation, or you snap at one point either by making a scene or you do something so egregious you are basically just taunting being fired while laughing about it cause the absolute worse thing that can happen is that they'll kill you and death in your state of mind at that point is a better outcome than coming to work one day more, or you just quit and say "I don't think this field is for me after all and I am looking to change my speciality" which is the most political way of going about quitting g your job without harming your future career.

You misses the resenting the patient for being there because yeah, OK they're sick, but they're also work you don't have time for. Lucky people (like me) are in a position to recognise what's happening at that stage and can take a break/make a change. Unfortunately many (especially the very junior doctors) can't act at that point and things progress. I took a few months, changed how and where I work. Now I have a much better work life balance and I see patients as sick people needing help again, rather than nuisances. Burnout happens and it's awful.

My prayer is that we healthcare professionals take care of ourselves better and not wait for the misguided yet kind intentions of corporate healthcare. Maybe a short on a nurse and doc collab?

i went to a charter school (2014-2018ish), that only had a couple staff, no guidance counselor, amd became a "my kid got kicked out of every other public school in the city and you guys get paid by the student" kind of place. holes in the walls from where kids put chairs through them, a kid who once threatened the entire school, staff included, the whole shebang. the academic model was constantly shifting and poorly explained to staff, i saw multiple teachers cry, and turnover was so common that we regularly didn't have teachers for a subject for the whole school for months at a time. teachers would get so burnt out that they would quit in the middle of the semester, sometimes only months after starting to teach. sometimes they were only there a few weeks. even the STUDENTS got burnt out by the sheer pressure of the hopelessness of the place. i was there almost 5 years. it was a small school, maybe 80 kids total but on a near constant rotation of one kid dropping out and being replaced by another new student... only 3 people graduated in the whole time i was there. i dropped out after realizing the stress was going to actually kill me. i can only imagine how schools are doing now. horrific. good luck and im so sorry. glad you get jeans day though im sure that helps a ton 🙃🙃🙃

As an MLT that has seen coworkers get burned out (understaffed lab with COVID at a major hospital? CRAZY workloads) and possibly on the way to burnout myself, this is bull. We're human too. What we need is better staffing and better pay, not just some cookies in a baggie saying "job well done." That being said, those are things our direct manager can't control and I'm fortunate that our manager is big on giving us our PTO in order to PREVENT burnout... I wish more people had management like that. Eagerly awaiting May for a much needed vacation!

100% what teachers are facing right now too! Just replace "CEO" with "Superintendent" and it's essentially the same damn story. Ortho is a PE teacher, Ophthalmology without a Scribe is either a Music/Art teacher without their tools or a Tech teacher in a power outage, and Family Medicine is that senior teacher/ curriculum coach (if anyone still has those that haven't been forced back into classroom teaching or fired) who has been through it all but is still trying to put in 110% because they love their kids so much. We have different titles, but we're facing the same problems with lack of respect and understanding of the general public, lack of living wages in the face of insane student debt, and being grossly overworked. I just got home. It's 7:25pm. And I'm a substitute teacher/ learning recovery tutor. There were at least 4 full staff teachers still at the school when I left. But we'll go in tomorrow, be greeted with hugs and happy hellos from children who may not know much kindness at home, and we'll keep showing up, finding ways to survive, because we know we may be the only people who are keeping tabs on some of our kiddos who desperately need more intervention from the barely existent CPS in our state. The general population has so little respect, appreciation, and even comprehension of what we all endure. It's a miracle our society hasn't fallen apart long before now, because these problems aren't new or pandemic creations.

I left practice in December of 2021. The burn out is starting to abate, but watching this month's series (September 2023) on healthcare in the US has demonstrated to me that it is still just below the surface. I started a MA of Applied Child and Adolescent Development in Infant and Early Childhood Mental Health (IECMH) in 2018, finally graduated in May. In many ways, I'm prouder of that MA than I am of my MD. We spend a lot of time in reflective practice and reflective consultation in IECMH. The only possible way for me to return to medical practice is to bring the reflective practice/consultation model with me and start sharing it with other physicians.
