This blog, though it seeks to prevent physician burnout, has the more positive goal of helping physicians to prioritize their own healing. As the healers get healed, as we gain compassion and patience for ourselves, we become more compassionate and patient with others. As we cease to be hard on ourselves, we cease to be hard on others. Our harsh, pressure-driven, performance-oriented inner narrative can be replaced by kind concern, understanding, the shedding of false perceptions, and a healthier perspective on ourselves and our profession. This leads to less of us retiring early or transitioning out of patient care.
