Dear doctor,
1. Take care of your health. Don’t pretend to be a superhero. Because, the day you crumble, everything you’re holding up will crumble too. Also because you just need to.
2. Burnout is common, but not necessary. You do not have to fall prey to this scourge.
3. Develop a healthy identity that doesn’t involve you being a superman, a savior, a martyr, or a fixer.
4. If you suffered certain things on your path to becoming a doctor, it doesn’t mean that you get to subject Junior Doctors to the same suffering. Do better.
5. Get the best job you possibly can.
6. Don’t fall prey to the belief that there are no better jobs out there. Remember, there is a Physician shortage, not a patient shortage.
7. Do something that you love every day.
I am Dr. Shola Ezeokoli, Physician coach. I help busy physicians defeat and prevent burnout, as well as create options for themselves outside of traditional medical practice. Watch a free Masterclass on burnout here. https://physicianhealyourself.life/burnout-to-balance-masterclass-optin/
