However, modern burnout studies in physicians will often ask the question, “How likely are you to recommend medicine to your firstborn child as a career?” The likelihood has been very low for years, AND this is a theoretical and abstract question.
This episode features Dr. Kim Lucas, an internist in Tempe, Arizona, skilled in Coaching, Executive Coaching, Healthcare, Medical Education, and Primary Care. She talks about her firstborn daughter who is contemplating medical school as a 26-year-old. What do you say? How different is the med school and residency experience now as opposed to when Kim and I were first board-certified in the 1980s? How can you teach your kids lessons you learned the hard way?
“One of the things I tell a lot of people is we all end up on a hamster wheel of one kind or another… The skill is figuring out what's the best hamster wheel for you.” - Kim Lucas MD
