You said at 0:15 roughly that for a fact, physician suicide is higher than any other professions which is entirely untrue! I can't find a single statistic backing up your data.

[@dimitrijejovanovic5939]

I am a gamer and medical student at the same time. I highly value my free time, because when I can dedicate some of my time towards things I love (video games, books, and movies), I can perform at my best. In two short years, I will become a doctor, and oh boy, I am in for a lot of pain. Hospitals in Serbia are undermanned and underequipped, and complaining about depression and burnout is here considered as weakness. There are a lot of my colleagues (myself included) and professional doctors being burned out. Some of them even left practicing medicine in order to prevent suicide. Something has to be done. Increasing salaries and the supply of doctors can be costly, but hey, doctors are the ones who hold many lives in their hands, and should be treated as such!

In my opinion institutions place majority of the responsibility of preventing burnout on the the individual provider. The focus on what you as the individual needs to do to prevent or treat burnout when really it’s a systemic problem with the way medicine is practiced in the United States

[@nico-bf1kr]

I would say that the main factor of burning out is to depend on people of badwill. If things that must progress to the good don't, or goes into the wrong direction, it means that your activities are not respected, not fruitfull, not rewarding etc => that's burning out. Throwing a rod.

Partly it's necessary, there is a ton of material to study and things to learn no matter how you turn it.

[@RichardC313]

The CDC website has construction workers as the highest suicide rate at approximately 53.2 per 100,000. Then a webMD article states that doctor suicide is between 28-40 per 100,000 which is high but not the top. I really wish he would give me a link to the statistics he's reading from.

[@colin3111]

My uncle, who was a very successful optometrist, told me that the single biggest thing to prevent/alleviate burnout is to have a hobby you are EXTREMELY passionate about outside of medicine. Meaning something you do almost every day (even if you work 100 hours a week), or something arduous. For example, my uncle ran a business flying private jets. His best friend was a near professional level musician. It’s not just playing tennis once a week, it’s playing four times a week and training for it. I’m only a med student so I’m not as busy as many residents but I devote A LOT of time to my individual hobbies. Discipline is so important even when you’re having fun

[@colin3111]

Tada_ imo it’s better to stay away from screens when you can. I spend enough time looking at screens for studying. Saturday/Sunday is really the only time when I use technology for leisure and I actually feel much better than I did in hs/college

[@Elizondarre]

My uncle who is a psychiatrist and has helped me throuhg my medical residence says exactly the same, so no now your comment is supported by experts too; and as a medical resident I can tell you that by doing a hobby that you are very passionate about you actually can reduce stress and have the time of your life even while doing a medical residence (even one that requires you to work 100h per week at it).

Interesting thought. You note that women seek professional help for burnout more then men (31% vs 24%) could this discrepancy be a factor is why burnout is more reported in women. In other words, could the rates of burnout between the genders actually be closer but women report it more than men?

[@englahimla9451]

Could be. There are still many men who grow up to believe they have to "suck it up" whenever they come across a problem, or that they're weak if they need help enough to seek it out. It's really twisted, when you think about it. Women have faced many other problems throughout history, but a common theme is that they've been expected to be "weak" and so it's been more socially acceptable of them to conform to this and admit their problems (but they aren't weak for admitting problems and seeking help to fix that problem - it never is, for anyone!).

[@maymayy1208]

[@englahimla9451]

@@maymayy1208 Yeah, there's that too! Forgot about that in my comment. It's really interesting how the main cause of the burnout is very different between women and men, too - I'd really like more studies into that and why it could be so!

[@mollyhenderson3486]

Thinking about it, women probably experience more burn out because: 1 we generally tend to be more in-tune and expressive with our emotions so this probably connects to said discrepancy 2 we also saw in that family and relationships were a primary factor in burn out for women and this is likely due to women feeling guilty for neglecting their family to focus more on work. For example the traditional expectation for mothers to take on more responsibility for raising children can make them feel guilty for either neglecting their job or neglecting their children. Additionally the added stress and responsibility that comes with raising children likely leads to faster burn out. In my experience (as a female who knows other females) guilt is one of the most prevalent and motivating emotions for many women and feeling like you're not doing enough for anyone seems to be a factor in burn out.

[@rolandxb3581]

@@englahimla9451 I don't think the divergent rates of seeking professional help are responsible for the discrepancy between men and women's risk of burnout. I'm pretty sure these data are based on representative surveys, so they ask everyone about the symptoms and then look at the numbers - it's not a survey to help-seekers. So there probably is a genuine gender burnout gap, but I don't really know why. Women do seem to care more strongly about relationships/children on average, so they might feel more responsibility for that (while finances were the biggest contributor for men). I do think that the fact that men are less likely to seek help is partly influenced by norms that expect strength and self-control from men. That's unfortunately true. Don't forget the stigma on mental illness as well, which doesn't help either (and goes for both sexes).

I’m not even a med student but these videos are always insightful. I’m also worried for my cousin who is currently studying for her MCAT. I always ask her to hang out whenever she’s free bc I know she has lost a lot of friends putting school and extra curriculars first.

[@thefenerbahcesk4156]

The day I took my MCAT I woke up early, took the 8 hour test, and left thinking "it's over, now what?" I then drove home (alone) reflecting on all the time I'd spent not just studying for this test but being a premed and having no leisure time whatsoever. Before I got home, I stopped at Fareway (a small grocery store), got a cookie dough icecream, drove my car to the parking lot behind the store, which was near a cornfield, and spent ten minutes or so eating the icecream and staring at the clear blue sky above the cornfield. A lot went through my mind while eating the ice cream. I first thought about the countless hours I spent studying for a test which might not even have gone so well (and will it even matter considering my trash gpa?), but after I was done thinking about the test, I just thought about how it was such a nice day, and I had to no one to enjoy it with. I then finished eating, threw the icecream in a dumpster behind the grocery store, drove home, and started planning my senior year of college which started the following week. I'm now a first year graduate student who spends pretty much all day in a research lab. I got accepted into med school a few months ago. Was all the hard work worth it? I don't know, but I know I want to become a doctor. Long story short, medicine is a long, lonely road.

I realized just now that I've been binge-watching your videos to torment myself over having burned out. Bad family history, a ridiculously long list of medical problems, and the resulting mental health problems have caused my GPA to suffer. Last semester I got straight As again like I used to but I'll never get it to 3.6 even if I get max grades in everything until graduation. I feel like my failure is my fault, but I suppose I didn't ask my parents to psychologically and physically torture me ever since I can remember. I also didn't ask my body to develop autoimmune hepatitis and the mysterious pain, fatigue, and 'brain fog' that came with it. Watching Med School Insiders, I realized that a past I couldn't control really will be held against me to the fullest extent. The system really is as callous and bureaucratic as I had suspected. Ever since I was a child, I have known suffering. It has been my highest ambition to decrease suffering in others by becoming a physician, even if I have to sacrifice what remains of my health in the process. Doctors have been of little help to me, usually catching things based on blood tests I explicitly ask for. I'm a hard case, presenting with no acute symptoms most of the time, so they prefer to dismiss me. I want to be the physician who makes all the difference in someone like me and helps them live the life of someone who is not prematurely old. Surely pushing medical students to the point of suicide by holding them accountable to perfection is antithetical to the goal of producing caring physicians.

If your passion is to become a doctor, then it should be worth it. Take a break or talk to someone in that case. Psychologist might help as well. If not and if you have passion (not interest), but true passion for something else, then go for that. That's what I did. I quit medicine in the EU 3 years into my studies. Here, 70% of people get kicked out in their preclinical years because of the intensity. I survived but still quit because if i didn't, i would have had to undergo additional 7 years of studying to finally become a practicing physician in my field of specialization. I found myself constantly stressed out, depressed, sleep deprived, obsessed in a negative way, taking stimulants to study 10-12 hours a day with little to no breaks, living and eating like absolute trash and it started slowly ruining my health, both mentally and physically. I also lost my interest in the practice of medicine completely (but not in the science of it) At the same time i had passion for something else, something i was thinking about 24/7 since a very young age, so i left med and did that. If you have a better option and if you aren't at the end of your studies, quit while you can. Quitting is not always a sign of weakness, you don't quit, you simply redirect your energy to grow in another field, where your hard effort will be appreciated by everyone and yourself. There is immense nobility in making the right choice. As a doctor, you will be another slave worker, working for a business (medicine is a business afterall). You will work 12 hour shifts and have no time to do anything else. So think again. If that's what you want to do because you love helping people in that way and that's your only desire, then keep grinding.

I was in college as an engeneering major, and mostly watched this channel for the study tips that were more universaly applicable and I could use in my study. Though in the end I got hit by burn out in a major way, I began to feel like what I was doing wasn't going to pay off, I wasn't good enough, I had gone through high school eisily without having to spend much time on study etc, and wasn't well adapted to the loss of free time for one thing and that was largly what I had needed in the past to stay functioning. I also wasn't attractive at all to girls and no matter how much I tried to push the issue out of my mind I just couldn't get away from it, I had never been in a relationship, and just wasn't good enough do deserve to be loved by anyone, and had trouble making friends and what friendships I had wern't much worth it. I had always been rather lonely but largely like I said with my free time I could keep the worst of it at bay, but couple that with not being effective at studying, not being good at remembering what I needed to learn and just in general not doing well with such huge tests with no steady class work or grades to balance poor tests, or prepare. Also I grew up very poor and was poor in college as well all of this causing more stress. And yeah being so... so lonely... trying to improve myself is just so pointless when you know you're not good enough for anyone and anything you try to do doesn't change anything. Plus my family wasn't terribly supportive, and I felt like I had to be doing more for them. And in the end the stress was just to much and I learned I just wasn't good enough, or smart enough to be and engineer. Then I spiraled into a huge depression and then instead of just failing calc II I began to fail all my classes and eventually just locked myself in my room for over a week, no one even noticed or cared and I just thought all that time about suicide. failing my classes also meant I lost all scolarship and grant money. So I would no longer be able to even afford college. even two years after the event just steping foot in the city where my old college was at I began throwing up just from the anxiety of being in proximity to the college. I latter got a job trying to just get my life in order they ended up over working me, paying me very little. and in the end crippled my leg, and now I'm in constant pain. And nothing can be done about it. I can't get work, no charity, no help of any sort other then having a place to stay with my mother, eating sparingly as can't afford much food, and I can't exercise because of the pain, and the medical bills ruined my life and credit, and took all the money I had saved working that crappy job that got me disabled. So now I guess there isn't much else I can do but try to ride things out one day at a time or till it becomes to unbearable and just kill myself. My life is basicly over but among many other things it's basically because of burn out. My life is now irreparably ruined by it. All I can say is do you're best to avoid it. don't end up like me.

[@0wew0]

Viridian this is an old comment, but I am writing to you, because I had a friend who was in a similar difficult situation, and he did kill himself, and it still hurts me that I couldn’t do anything about it, when I know he could have been helped. Even though I never had everything falling down on me at once like you did, I also have been through depression, I also struggled with my studies and had years when I worried a lot about rent and I know the loneliness of not having a partner. My life is much better now, after years of positive changes, partly from own effort and partly from luck. What I want to say is that with time and small, incremental changes you can slowly walk to a better place. I know the feeling when anything positive sounds distant and empty, but it is possible to do one small good thing on a daily basis. For me it used to be a 15-20 min yoga video on KZbin. You mention you can’t work out with that leg, but Yoga with Adriene is a great channel with hundreds of videos, and she often explains how to adjust poses for different conditions. Headspace, the meditation app also helped me a lot. Medschool Insiders has a book review about Atomic Habits, which gives ideas how to make attainable, tangible, daily changes, which add up over time. I would also like to carefully give you some hope that there still are people who are worth your attention and who would be interested in you (they are just not very social most of the time, so it’s easiest to meet them at work/through hobbies). Stay strong, man, and take care of yourself. That’s the best thing you can do, both short and long term. I wish you the best.

Burnout isn’t necessarily physical exhaustion. Burnout is when you become bored and dispassionate with everything around you. Think of the times you were motivated and productive : you were probably working a lot more that you were at the time of burnout. Burnout comes when you lose faith in what you’re doing, you become disillusioned and bitter and resentful. You feel exhausted just thinking about everything you have to do. Why ? You are probably putting in hours of hard work, but aren’t seeing clear benefits/results. Personally, I’ve always wanted to be a doctor because of the type of people doctors were : smart, hard working, productive, empathetic. They were everything I wanted to be. I didn’t mind studying and putting in the effort to be productive and efficient, because all my actions were vouching for this identity, and that was tremendously exciting. Then reality came crashing down. I realized most doctors around me were awful : anti-social, narcissistic, sleep-deprived, too absorbed in their own self- improvement to be genuinely empathetic. I was unlucky, maybe doctors aren’t like this in other parts of the world. THIS wasn’t who I wanted to become. So I started slacking off. I was top of my class for so long, so this came as a shock for me. But they disgusted me, all I could think of when studying was the type of person I was going to become. I was sacrificing so much and for what? To become something I didn’t believe in. If you are burned out, you are probably putting in more than you are getting. If the reward seems worth it, trust me when I say you won’t even notice when you work your ass off. When you are burned out, turning to your family for support isn’t exactly going to help because they couldn’t possibly understand what you’re going through (unless you have doctors in your family). Females experience more burnout than males because there is more pressure on women to excel at different things. Trying to remain at the top of your field, being socially and emotionally available when your family/friends need you, the stress of being attractive enough to get married before it’s too late to get children (men don’t have to visually look good to attract women *sigh*), raising said children, cleaning and cooking and working hard in the hospital and more.... All this and men still get better pay and more respect. Sounds superficial, but if we women could just brush these things off and ignore all the expectations that come with our sex, trust me, we gladly would. We end up being stuck between family and friends that find us “too studious, not feminine enough, not socially engaged enough” and medical peers that find us “not focused enough, not career driven enough, not ambitious enough”. Yeah, you try juggling 5 thousand things at once. I can’t believe females being more burned out than males comes as a surprise. Really shows how self-absorbed some men really are. If being a doctor is difficult, then being a female doctor is even more challenging. A woman CAN choose to exclusively focus on her career...which leads to loneliness, and back to disillusionment (no one wants to spend the rest of their lives with a woman who won’t be available to raise kids herself, but somehow a man who works hard at his job and is absent is just trying to earn money for his family. You know, because women can’t be possibly doing that as well.) Many women put off surgery not for a lack of qualification, but because the hectic lifestyle it demands can’t mesh with outside responsibilities and expectations. There comes a time when you ask yourself : is it worth all the sacrifice? Working in a world driven by narcissistic men who have less responsibilities and get more respect than you do? That, my friends, leads to burnout.

[@zjaeger1800]

just lol. I really appreciate your effort in wirting your perspective down on burnout. But I also have to correct you by redefining some issues your mind / perception created. First, please don't have a look on other doctors, which are superficial. If they get so by working their asses off, that doesnt mean that you will become as same. That doesnt even make sense. The next illusion is this one: " the stress of being attractive enough to get married before it’s too late to get children (men don’t have to visually look good to attract women *sigh" I mean, what? Ok, it's true that woman only have a time span to be the most attractive and get married for having also children. Men have a bit more time on that, yes. But "men don’t have to visually look good to attract women *sigh" is false, no matter from which view. Men need to be visually more attractive than woman. Just think about this. Woman are the selective gender, their evolutionary job is to select more than 80% out. So a woman can just look average and marry a more better looking men by creating emotional content with him. The other way, men can't do that when average looking to a woman, who looks above average (in all most cases). That's nothing more than evolutionary psychology, that being said. The third thing is: "All this and men still get better pay and more respect". Nope. Not true. Not even a bit. Woman get paid the same amount as men, if - and only if - we need to be honest here - they do the *same* work. The thing why many woman get less paid is, bc men in same positions do create more content. And if so, they get paid higher. But if a woman does the same amount of work, she gets paid as high as men, obviously. Nothing wrong with being wrong here Miss, I only liked to show you some perceptual errors your mind was thinking off. All in one, woman also a heavy burden to bear.

[@MariA-uf8iz]

Z Jaeger Oh honey. I would like to remind you that the comment reflects MY experience with burnout. You have the right to offer your perspective, but you CANNOT dismiss mine. You’re lucky enough to be surrounded by great doctors ? PROPS TO YOU, I envy you. First, of course the type of people you’re around with 12 hours a day will affect your self-identity. Especially if they value things and have principles that differ significantly from yours. You WILL feel emotionally exhausted and ultimately burnt out. Now, I really hate generalizing, but fact remains that the MAJORITY of doctors I’m surrounded with are very selfish & are in it for the “status”, “money”, “parents”; because they feel like their intelligence will help them climb some dumb social ladder. That’s the way things are where I live. Humble doctors really aren’t a thing. “But they deserve this”. I really don’t care how hard you work or how intelligent you are, if you don’t genuinely feel like you are using your intelligence to help other people (before yourself) then you don’t deserve to be here. Medicine is before anything else a SERVICE sector job. You’re intelligent, have a knack for science and want to prove yourself but aren’t really a people’s person? There are a ton of other jobs for that, which will require a lot less effort and give a lot more money. Dr Jubbal gave up 7 YEARS OF MED SCHOOL and a plastic surgery residency so he could help people in a way that he thought was more beneficial & inspiring. If that doesn’t show what a great doctor he would’ve been, idk what will. Second, it’s people like you who completely shrug off unequal pay with “men offer more content, that’s why they get payed more” that make me wonder if education really does make a difference...?? if only it were that simple?? The only place in the world where wages are 99% not sex-dependent is France & some other European countries. 17 years spent in the french educational system DOES teach you a thing or two about how things ought to be. Idk where you live, but where I’m from women are equally - if not more - hard working than men (especially if it’s to prove it to ignorants like you!). Let’s say you ARE right in your assumption that men offer more content than women (lol). Rest assured that the only thing keeping these women from giving their 100% are outside expectations/responsibilities that are promulgated by society (which include other women!!). Come back with your arguments when you’re expected to carry another human being in you for 9 months, raise that human properly , repeat that 1-2 more times and still managed to give 100% of yourself to your career. Also, I highly doubt the average man is willing to marry a woman with higher social standing and has the patience to play housewife and stay at home/care for kids while his surgeon wife is running in and out of the OR (if you know one, please do share). Only option is to marry other fellow doctors/scientist (forget family time at home!). A male doctor can easily marry any woman he wants to (women will be lining up at the prospect of marrying a doctor. Sad to say I can’t guarantee the opposite is true). If you live somewhere where women and men - even better if they’re of different race - are treated 100% equally and are both hard working, then good on you my friend. Please do recognize that the rest of the world isn’t as fortunate.

[@pg8982]

The field of medicine you enter can be a significant contributor to whether or not you experience burnout. I was split between going into psychiatry or neurology, and it was primarily the burnout factor that informed my decision to enter psychiatry. Every neurologist I personally rotated with looked miserable and/or stated as much to me. Additionally, national polling (particularly from Medscape) on burnout trends by field showed that neurologists had the highest rates of burnout among all specialities and the lowest work satisfaction as well, while psychiatry had the opposite data. As well, psychiatry residency is objectively less stressful because there’s no stroke calls, which I was told numerous times make the residency experience in neurology hell. More and more young doctors are done with the bullshit “medicine is your life” mantra of old, and are not accepting terrible work schedules filled with stress, inadequate sleep, and unreasonable demands. We wants fulfilling lives outside of work AND fulfilling work. The two are not mutually exclusive, but for too long the job of being a doctor has treated them as such. But to reiterate my initial point: pick a field of medicine that treats you like a human during and after training; a field with good work-life balance. For me, that was psychiatry. There are other fields that allow you to achieve this, and quite a few that unfortunately don’t. One more plug for psychiatry: psych residencies often DO care about how’re you’re doing and your feelings of burnout, and make WAY more efforts to address this than most other residency programs.

[@johnthompson861]

that’s really interesting because over here in the uk the riskiest specialties for burnout and Suicide would be psychiatry (under resources and empathy drain), family medicine/primary care (work rate, empathy drain/ lack of resources, under appreciated, lots of politics etc) and anaesthetics (access to lethal drugs).

[@taylorextavour2789]

I was compelled to point out that women doctors higher rate of burn out cannot only be attributed to solely their gender. Women are greatly marginalized and oppressed in many aspects of American society causing women to have higher rates of depression/suicide in general. And now that we are seeing more women enter the medical field, we are also seeing an increase in burnout, depression, and suicide among females in this already demanding field. This is similar to how we see that African Americans have a greater risk of stroke and heart-related complications not only due to genetics but also due to the emotional and physical stress of racism in America. So it is important to note that women have higher burn out rates, it does not mean that women are somehow less able to be doctors. Women just have to deal with more stressors of sexism and the like on top of the stress of having a demanding career as a doctor/physician

[@WWTormentor]

The problem is in medicine we are constantly being told what to do, when to do it, and how to do it. I spend 30-40 minutes a day doing paperwork per patient. I finish seeing patients between 5-5:30 but stay in the office till 10-11 finishing up notes, submitting authorizations for surgeries or medications etc. I also have to waste my office staff time to submit outrageous amount of charts for medical review which puts stress on my staff as well. On top of that I have to constantly submit documentation in order to get paid for my services. So yes I’m burned out and yes I’m looking to leave medicine for good. But the problem is that a medical degree is a very limited degree. Outside of medicine the only thing my medical degree is good for is teaching, research, or joining board of an insurance or pharma. But even those jobs are far and few between. All I can do is hold on to my sanity long enough to be able to retire when I’m 65 which is another 15 years away and move out of the country where my retirement will go further. So you can do everything under the sun to try to reduce your stress but these things I mentioned we have no control over and they only get worse.

[@WWTormentor]

Onyx 2020 I know. Unfortunately medicine has been high jacked by the government and insurance companies. We no longer practice medicine but practice what the insurance companies tell us is right for the patient. People that have no knowledge of medicine are making decisions as to approve or disapprove treatments. Might as well get rid of doctors and have patients call the insurance companies and tell them their symptoms and have them tell them what to take and what to do. Doctors have become nothing but the middle man with all the liability. When things go wrong we are the ones sued and at fault because we didn’t prescribe the proper treatment even though it was rejected by the insurance. We have the government telling us what treatments are allowed and which are disallowed. On top of all that, they constantly cut our reimbursement while increasing the number of paperwork that we need to do. They give us unrealistic goals and expectations to meet or we get penalized in our pay. It’s not getting any better and will only get worse. I feel bad for those who are in medical school, or about to enter or considering medicine for their future. All they will get is a student loan of $300,000+ with nothing to show and a life time to pay for it.

It bothers me very much when i see people entering the medical field for the wrong reason. Im a first year medical student and i cannot tell you how SATURATED it is with people ( especially men ) who are in no way empathetic to people/patients and instead always talk about how they went for MD because they want to be their own boss or to make a good amount of money, firstly that type of thinking is what causes elitism and hierarchical discrimination against nurses, NP’s, and PA’s. I DESPISE students and attendings who went into medicine to fulfill an ego problem, ANYBODY who is a disciplined student or who is genuinely smart can push through medical school no problem HOWEVER NOT everyone can be a doctor. Doctors who go into medicine for the wrong reasons or who lack introspection always burn out first and always lose their empathic ability once they REALLY experience what its like to work with REAL patients and REAL diseases and not just simulation/standardized patients. The people who need to be going into the medical field should not just be the ones with a 3.8-4.0 GPA but the ones who are actually empathetic in their nature and are passionate about people not just diagnoses/treating/ or the science aspect of it. I wish medical school admission interviews would weed out more people who just have good scores because that is not a measure of whether or not they will become a empathetic doctor.

[@MedSchoolInsiders]

Not sure what program you're at. Students who were going into medicine for the wrong reasons were a small minority at my school. Regardless, do you have any supporting evidence that those who went into it for reasons A or B are more likely to burn out? Be careful, being super self-righteous and judgmental is just as destructive and harmful to colleagues and patients.

[@velvetrest4566]

Med School Insiders it’s a given that if you do any job/career for the wrong reasons its not going to be fulfilling and you will get burntout/bored. Also I’m not priding myself on being empathetic because i never gave emphasis or clue that i was. Im acknowledging how usually male doctors (obviously not all) are apathetic and also apprehensive to even admit they’re burnt out which is why the statistics that women seem more prone to burn out are not completely accurate. When a doctor/student/resident is burnt out it shows in their demeanor and tone when talking with patients standardized or not. those arent my feelings but actual anecdotes from articles to YT videos of doctors talking about having patients who are doctors that express those feelings. As a general rule for anybody that wants to go into medicine I think detaching yourself from your ego is the first step to actually becoming a decent doctor. Obviously other factors play a role in doctors being burnt out like the bureaucratic aspect of being an MD or the emotional stress of dealing with terminally ill patients and their expectations of you to be perfect and all-knowing but I’m specifically bringing light to the doctors who regret becoming one and became one for the wrong reasons. Introspection is a useful and free tool (And im @ harvards medical school to answer your first question)

[@velvetrest4566]

Med School Insiders also being judgmental is not equatable to being judicious for the right reasons. There are obviously standards to being a doctor, empathy being one of them

[@velvetrest4566]

It also goes without saying that there are actual studies that surgical professions are more likely to harbor people with mild to moderate psychopathic personality traits; lack of empathy, but obviously thats a statement which is multifactorial in its justification

[@velvetrest4566]

Med School Insiders also i love your channel and the mass of information/advice that your provide for free but it is somewhat proving my point when MD males have a hierarchical almost patronizing way of thinking when it comes to talking about everyone in healthcare that is “below” them, for example your video on doctors of osteopathy comment section was getting flamed for your verbiage and tone you had describing D.Os

I think part of the issue is that we are in an environment of everyone around us being 'burnt out'. If everyone you work with, and every person you talk to tells you that everything is absolutely shit, then you are going to think everything is shit. As a society I feel we have lost the ability to engross ourselves in our hobbies and our vocation. In medicine we have the privilege to treat patients pain and suffering and be their guide through some of their most difficult days. That's an honor. I am grateful for this every day. But I think the main issue is probably a societal issue. We have moved away from a culture where being passionate about your art and advocating for science has been replaced by apocryphal statements. We have also moved from a culture of care and group responsibility, to one of individualism. This has been mirrored in medicine with the loss of 'the firm', and the loss of the autonomy of the medical profession and its replacement with bureaucratic systems. Social media likely has a large part to play in this also, making sure we can not keep concentration for long enough. No one owes us anything, but at the same time we owe a responsibility to all those around us and our future clinicians. Passion is important, we should not be afraid to be passionate.

You might realize most not in this setting dont care based on the comments ive seen...But no comments for women that did none of it. Once you all see that and understand what that is about and hear what they said about you after what you went through you might think twice about this setting. No job is worth your mental peace and anxiety and depression and what was mentioned above...Btw just finished my burnout cme this weekend.

It feels a bit like a trick as I once heard it called before...

Sad to see people inside of medicine so unhappy being judged by people that didnt go through any of it for years or decades. How do you respond to that situation? Just give up and leave?
