“Job burnout strikes doctors more often than it does other employed Americans, according to a national survey.  More than four in 10 physicians across the nation said they were emotionally exhausted or felt a high degree of cynicism, or ‘depersonalization,’ toward their patients.  Previous studies have shown burned-out doctors are more prone to thinking about suicide and to making medical errors than are their peers.  It’s not clear why burnout strikes so many doctors; possible reasons include excessive workloads, too much paperwork, loss of professional autonomy and a higher patient load to make up for declining reimbursement rates.”
