DocWorking: The Whole Physician Podcast
Education:How To
Today we rewind back to one of our most popular episodes on DocWorking: The Whole Physician Podcast.
“Your life becomes fused to what we do and it’s very hard, especially for physicians or healthcare workers, to say, ‘Well, you know, I’ve done this all my life and maybe that’s not what I need to do now.’” -Simon Maltais MD Ph.D.
In this episode, Dr. Jen Barna has a very honest conversation about burnout and recovery with Cardiac Surgeon and author of the book, Healthcare Anonymous: Put Yourself First to Avoid Anxiety, Addiction, and Burnout, Dr. Simon Maltais. You would be hard pressed to find someone more driven or accomplished in his field than Dr. Maltais. At the top of his game and publishing a new article nearly every two weeks, Dr. Maltais realized that he was experiencing burnout. Dr. Maltais shares his story of taking a step back, considering leaving medicine, changing his definition of success, and ultimately creating a hybrid way to continue the work that he loves while making more time for himself and his family. Tune in to hear an honest and candid story of burnout and recovery and hear what Dr. Maltais believes is the future of medicine.
