Why I Quit Being a Doctor After 12 years- why I quit medicine and GP

FOR CLINICIANS SEEKING SUPPORT- if you are currently working in healthcare and struggling with your mental health can I recommend the service below. Whilst I have no personal experience of this service I do know colleagues who have found it extremely useful.

For those uncertain why clinicians might need a separate mental health service:

DID I BURN OUT?
I'm pre-empting this question.
A definition of burn out is 'Burnout is a long-term stress reaction marked by emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and a lack of sense of personal accomplishment.' (www.ahrq.gov/p...)
'Burn out'- is a term we should be disregarding. It piles the responsibility for this state onto the individual who is 'burnt out'- rather than a system that harms it's workers. When the prevalence of 'burnout' among clinicians (over 50 percent in some studies) is so high, it is time that we look at the system rather than the individuals for answers. (This figure is taken from the same reference above.)
Whilst I didn't reach these points I can completely see why people do. In the video I talk about some of the many roles I've undertaken over the years and keeping my career varied has always allowed me to feel accomplishment, have the excitement of getting to know a new environment and feel that I continue to learn and progress. However, I have no doubt that at some point this would have been unavoidable.
